In a sea of recommendations for Mikrotik, TP-Link, UniFi, etc. -- all routers I was looking at getting myself -- I'm hesitant to share the blissful state of https://firewalla.com

I had crossed the bridge of being tired of configuring OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc. over the years. I just wanted something that worked reliably and was intuitive to both setup and manage.

With the Firewalla Purple and their iOS app, I've never seen such good UI/UX in a networking product, and it's been a great experience (I recommend the Purple or the Gold).

Per https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010465893 >A mobile phone is required to use all products

Why would I spend $300-600 on something closed-source which requires a mobile phone to administer it when I can spend the same on this which is 100% open source and bulletproof?

Aruba Instant On access points work great with the Firewalla.
