So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.

And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).

Or a mikrotik router.

Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.

Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).

i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network

Thanks

@funambolo @buyeuropean@feddit.uk @buyeuropean@mastodon.social i take note, i hope to replicate the way of (at least for wifi) unify allow an unified (pun intended) coverage that allow to move easily from one to another AP without diconection.

For the fact it's not european it's not very important if they are open source on software and not american (or chinese) i'm interested.

As chinese have backdoor policy and US ... i mean i would literally prefer to go Chinese backdoor road that anything US right now.

Steady on... if you're trying to avoid being snooped rolling your own with FOSS is probably the best bet. Being snooped by someone else isn't solving anything.

Unfortunately that is very hard with wireless cards, consumer ones have limits on the number of stations they will act as AP for and proprietary firmware. There are no modern fully FOSS solutions AFAIK.
