I don’t want to wade in too hard on UBNT and I am EXTREMELY frustrated with them at the moment but if you read the release notes they’ve COMPLETELY rewritten the controller and firmware in something called UBios. As a result, pretty much every ‘feature’ you’d expect on a basic consumer router is missing. Yes, it’s Beta, and they’re releasing it so they can test the hardware but realistically how much ‘testing’ can you do if the kit barely works?
What seriously concerns me is that they appear to have pulled ALL the Unifi developers off Unifi and put them on UBios which is why the only upgrade we saw in the last 2 iterations of Unifi Controller was the new widget screen (which reverts back to old Unifi once you click on something) and Dark mode, which is hardly revolutionary.
When you read the various comments about putting off VPN support and improving DHCP and Multi-WAN etc. you very quickly realise they were all working on UBios.
Hilariously, the release notes for UBios Controller 10.5 state that it has not yet achieved ‘feature parity’ with Unifi controller. And that has barely reached feature parity with a BT Home Hub, so let’s hope they make progress faster with UBios than with Unifi Controller recently.
