Checking prices on amazon.com and ubnt.com:

- UniFi SDN Controller 5.9.29 for Debian/Ubuntu Linux $Free-as-in-Beer

Total: $196.90


The mini-ITX boxes are still too expensive:

- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KB5YCK/ $279.95

- WiFi AP $???

- pfSense 2.4.4 $Free-as-in-Freedom

Total: $279.95 + Access Point


The Netgate SG-1000 microFirewall Security Appliance with pfSense has a 
very aggressive price:

- WiFi AP $???

- pfSense included $Free-as-in-Freedom

Total: $149.00 + Access Point

As I understand it, UniFi's value proposition is that their "Software 
Defined Network" is better/ faster/ cheaper to configure, operate, and 
maintain for large, multi-site, wired, and wireless network installations.


If you have ever tried to configure multiple routers and AP's in 
multiple LAN's connected by VPN's over the Internet, each via it's own 
web interface, UniFi's proposition becomes very appealing.


Right now, I only have one router and one AP on my LAN.  Even for my 
tiny installation, UniFi is better than my previous high-end consumer/ 
low-end professional Netgear products.  If and when I need to support 
remote LAN's over VPN's, UniFi should only get better.
