I'm using a Synology RT2600ac but looking to move on to something else that has OpenVPN, a good firewall with logs, and AP's i can spread around the house. Been thinking about Ubiquiti but they lack two of the things i want, wondering what you guys are using.

My Synology 2.4 Ghz radio is dead.

I have,
2,200 square feet single story plus a garage to cover
60 IOT devices
20 IP Cameras
GIG Internet

I’m happy with my Ubiquiti USG and 3 APs. What two things are you missing?

Ubiquity here. Edgerouter POE, EdgeSwitch-24 POE250watt, 2 AP in ceiling for whole house coverage.

VLANs for general PC, IPcams and IOT devices. VPN server hosted in EdgeRouter so when i am not home phone is auto connected to home setup. BI works great and cameras are isolated in a VLAN.

How is the VPN on Ubiquiti as they don't support OpenVPN? I use it to view ip cams without port fwd.

I've been looking at the UDM Pro since it can handle GIG internet but seems overkill for me.

pretty much the same with the added UniFi AP AC In Wall in my workshop that not only gives me a 4th access point but also a POE and regular ethernet connection.
 
I use an Asus router. It supports openvpn. Rt-ac86u. I use stock Asus software.

If setup correctly, no camera traffic goes through the router
 
Unifi Dream Machine. (not the pro)
If I were to do it all over, I'd go for the older USG. I haven't had major issues with the UDM but it does have a few bugs that need to be worked out.

I have read about the bugs. Does it have firewall logs from what I can tell it does not without some extra work.
 
I haven't figured out how to view the logs. There is an option to turn the feature on but the logs have to be downloaded through ssh commands?
 
USG Pro 4 with 2x AC Lite, 1x NanoHD, 1x UAP-M-AC. Run OpenVPN on Raspberry Pi 4B+ and have the USG also configured with L2TP VPN.
