And sure I'm tech-savvy, but I also don't want to deal with things. The real test is at my parents' house, where I don't live but I manage some of their stuff remotely / occasionally in person. I can't babysit whatever gets installed, and they don't understand computers. Like, whenever their internet was having problems, they'd only know how to reboot the router; eventually they automated this task with a lamp timer. But they were fine managing the Ring once I set it up.
Perhaps the solution that the tech-oriented crowd will move to now is just making things from scratch, I haven't seen the clear consensus on it yet.
My parents replaced the Ubiqitis themselves when they started having issues I wasn't there to fix, with some no-name Amazon wifi APs. MAC address manufacturer lookup just said "Shenzhen." Plugged in, and they worked.
