As a home user, I'm comfortable with the level of security provided at the LAN-connected machine level. I've had an internet-connected LAN since I can remember and have never had any security issues at the router level. I suppose, if I get paranoid, I can put a hardware firewall in front of the router.
They focus on WISP and enterprise markets and price about 80% less than the equivalent equipment from Cisco or Juniper. The Unifi line of devices can all be managed from the same controller and are pretty slick.
The prices were far lower than I first anticipated. I have to say, though, that from a home user perspective I absolutely despise Cisco (I have no experience with Juniper). I'm sure Cisco products make IT departments who must maintain mission-critical operations reasonably happy. However, I don't like, at all, the user-level comprises that Cisco forces. I can't tell from my quick scan of the Unifi whether these products are similarly over-bearing. They don't appear to be, but I'll look further.
