Where does Ubiquiti use OpenWRT? I saw that claim elsewhere in this thread but I'm pretty sure their original devices were based on Vyatta, and their newer stuff is a custom Linux OS of their own that is loosely Debian-flavored. Poking around in the terminal all the Ubiquiti devices I have used are very clearly unrelated to OpenWRT.

Ubiquiti started in outdoor wireless, point to point and point to multipoint. All their outdoor radios, cameras, and unifi APs are all running a version of openwrt.
EdgeRouters started on vayatta and then that went away (AT&T acquired Vayatta) and then that forked into VyOS.
Some of the Ubiquiti EdgeSwitches are running some other OS, but I can't remember what it was.
