Ugh, what did I get myself into... I hope this thing ships with fairly recent, stable firmware.
you need to opt in to receive early access software
I'm the kind of masochist that would probably have done that. Thanks for the warning.
I (pretty much) never use early access/beta software in production. There is rarely any upside, and always substantial potential downside.
I've also been burnt 3x now buying UniFi EA hardware that never made it to final production. So I'm done with that now too.

You want minimum 6.5.54 so you get the log4j vulnerability update.
Neighbor of mine was: stopstealingmywifi
6.5.55 would be better - Update log4j version to 2.16.0 (CVE-2021-45046). 
But my post was in regards to Early Access
2.17 is out now to fix 2.16
read my post about 7.0.15 above. make your own decision if you want 2.17.
please guys... I was only commenting on early access software... nothing else
Yup - got that, my reply wasn't really addressed at you, just the group.
Have been busy w/family & holiday stuff but it's only been a few hours, dammit. 
How did it get to the point that I'm two releases behind on Log4j updates and one of the releases is broken?! 
My setup is a little bastardized.. complicated because i have static ips and the way comcast does it you cannot route you need to bridge as the default gateway is on the same subnet as your ips.
Very few routers allow a bridging firewall.. other than high cost ciscos
i use a mikrotec cloud core router CCR1016-12G (16 cores) which can keep up with the bridging firewall with my 1gig down speed with like 1% cpu utilization..
I still am old school like you were with my main wifi is concerned being an asus rt-ac5300 running dd-wrt
i gave up on on the backchannel wifi and actually have a gocoax moca over cable hooked up to a netgear ex8000 since i had extra runs from now defunct direct tv cable runs.
so my backchannel for the mesh is hard wired
i can get arounr 500 meg sustaned on wifi on both upstars and downstirs.. basement a little less.
for our rental condos i and just using the older orbi ac5300/rbr50's with 1 satellite i got cheap on woot. and they seem to work well but smaller than our house.. however i as you am bummed about the lack of customizeablity vs dd-wrt.
However i do at least have access to them via vpn setup and they seem to work very well for rentalls with no muss or fuss. I espicially like the bar code on the router that people can scan to setup the info in their phones for access.
