>HN boosters overdoing it on their home WiFi in what must be a bid to get their partner to divorce them..

Au contraire!

I got tired of the refrain "are you messing with the network again?" in the evenings when the neighbors are all streaming Netflix and crowding the airwaves, so I installed several low power UI APs around the house and and popped my own DNS and devices to a separate VLAN.

No more complaints :)

I do wish Unifi offered more configuration in the ad-blocking department, but I'm hesitant to inflict anything but the most vanilla deployment on the remainder of the household..

Unless UI spins up their own dns business, I have had good luck using nextdns.io at home to close that gap.
