You actually can install Openwrt on bunch of their hardware

    Or OpenBSD, in my case a USG-3P. I would have otherwise tossed it but now it's a nice OpenBSD switch.

        OpenBSD 7.7 (GENERIC) #339: Sun Apr 13 17:52:27 MDT 2025
        deraadt@octeon.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/octeon/compile/GENERIC
    real mem = 536870912 (512MB)
    avail mem = 521142272 (497MB)

    Only complaint I have with Unifi is so-so IPv6 support. I'd love to see a NAT64/DNS64 option configurable in their UI.

    Out of the box, my Unifi Security Gateway runs Debian, as did my previous Unifi AC access points.

    I just checked and my new Wifi 7 APs don't run Debian though, they...
