Part of what I like the ubiquiti stuff is how they just look like boring appliances and not strobing RGB gamer aesthetic nonsense

I was having trouble with my ubiquiti amplifi recently and I was mostly upset with the possibility that I’d have to replace it with one of those ugly monstrosities. Luckily, it was just a temporary glitch that rebooting fixed.

I’m pretty sure that trend stared with the one where the antenna could jokingly be turned upside down so it looked like a spider that might come after you. 😂

I'd say because of gamer culture but they're not all strobing RGB colors yet... But we're getting there!

That’s how you know they have good range. That King, you know he gets reception with that array.

To be fair, WiFi is deep magic, and likely evil. Radio is hard! If an homage to Angband gets you reception, well, that works for me.
