However, the controller doesn't have to be running 24/7. That's only needed if you want monitoring, statistics etc.

I believe it also needs to be running for wireless uplink (mesh) to work for some reason. Unless that has changed recently.

Did not know that. I run the controller on an old MacBook that’ll crash from time to time.

Just had to replace an 8 port UniFi POE switch with a new lite version of it. Lasted about two years in the attic before giving me issues. We’ll see how the newer plastic one does.

I don't think so; at least not in a few years. Once configured, all the settings get stored to the individual devices. The only thing that needs the controller running is the captive portal.
