That’s something I will look into. I could have a simple network stack and use pihole to manage access. I was thinking in terms of a single solution, but perhaps this is a better alternative.
I run my Eeros on a wired connection so I don’t really /need/ a mesh.
I’ll look at adguard and pihole - I had been thinking in terms of the network controlling access for kids, I suppose there are other ways of achieving that, eg through a firewall or dns.
Do you think the mobile app would be easy for a vaguely technical person to enable and disable groups of devices? Last time I looked at ubiquiti it wasn’t really “consumer” oriented.
To clarify - the interface is slow, and won’t work without the cloud connection.
The network is great.
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.
