I've been looking to improve the home network in my home lab. It seems that Ubiquiti has everything I could want in their various products.

However, it seems too good to be true. How much snooping does the router/firewall/APs do on my traffic? If you have a similar case, what has been your experience with Ubiquiti?

If you are looking for a future proof, snooping free and secure solution for home routers, there is most likely no way around installing open source firmware like openwrt. I would just pick a device with good openwrt support, some ubiquity models have that, if I remember correctly. But there are many alternatives by different manufacturers. I would just chose one with good hardware specs in your price range, install openwrt and call it a day.
