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

I finally removed my last Unifi device last year and am not looking back.
I was trying to decide the same, but went with MikroTik since I wanted a solution that covered all my network gear. I also didn't want either US or Non-NATO based solutions. I've been very happy with my choice. Just be careful with the APs. There are US-only models floating around on Ebay. If you buy those, you will get locked out of usable bands.

@36pickledeggs @buyeuropean@feddit.uk @buyeuropean@mastodon.social @mikrotik what about update period their website say (lifetime of device or 5y min) unify update since longer so i ask

I'll let Microtik field this question for their side, but this is actually one of the major reasons I started moving away from Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti's support for many for their Edgerouter products seemed very hit or miss only after a few years. They would technically receive security updates, but little to nothing else.
