> a UDM pro is a router (as well as other things). The expectation is that it is connected to WAN.

That's a bad expectation.

When I moved houses, I was without home broadband for almost 2 months. I bought a Cloud Fibre Gateway as everybody recommended Unifi. I intended to set my local network up, have Home Assistant running, as well as my NAS and other self-hosted apps.

Couldn't do any of that until I figured out a way to tether my phone to my OpenWRT router that the Unifi was supposed to replace, and wire them together over ethernet.

Not the final straw that made be give up on it but a truly atrocious first experience.
