Options for a local-only (or mostly) home network
Options for a local-only (or mostly) home network
I’m currently using Eero https://eero.com/ for my home network, as it mostly works well and is easy for my partner to enable and disable our kids devices at bedtime etc. The interface is quite slow, and I worry about being so cloud and Amazon dependant.
I’m wondering if there’s a local-only, ideally open, alternative? Most alternatives eg Ubiquiti seem to be becoming cloud based, and the likes of open wrt isn’t very partner-friendly.
Is there a middle ground? My requirements are modest, just a few wireless access points plus a handful of wired devices. Internet is max 1 gigabit.

I ordered a GL Mango router a few days ago for the purpose of having a small independent WiFi network at home for my IoT experiments. That little box seems to be doing a lot network wise, it has a wan and a LAN port (no gigabit sadly...) and a nice web interface (based on openwrt) . I haven't received it yet but I'm suggesting that you have a look on the off-chance that it might answer your needs...
