Wow, that's really good.

I went through wireless routers every 18 months (or less) for more than a decade until I switched to Ubiquiti.

Exactly. The only way to avoid swapping out routers twice every 4 years or so is to go with a prosumer setup. Ubiquiti is great.

Of course, now that we have AX and 6Ghz bands coming, everybody is going to be obsolete for a bit.

I was burning through Linksys, Netgear and TP-Link modems every 12-16 months and the overall performance was always sub-standard.

I've been using AmpliFi for a couple years and have been very happy with them. Other than occasionally restarting the access points, no issues.

I check for Firmware updates every quarter, which as you probably know, can be managed from an iOS or Android app, which is incredibly convenient.

On Amplifi, I don't even have to do that. They push the firmware updates out as they are ready. Just get a notification that one is available.

Wow, that's cool! It sounds like your model is newer than the Amplifi model I have from 2016.

Most manufacturers do that actually, even the cheap ones. The thing is, it's not always a good thing. Many times new firmware fixes old bugs but introduces new ones.
