With my previous employer, I sat in on a bunch of Meraki webinars and received two access points, a switch, and a firewall/router.  I love the throughput and remote management with their products.  However, my free 3 year trial is coming to an end and I cannot afford their enterprise pricing for license extensions and renewals.  So, with that being stated, I'm looking for an alternative.  I'm looking to replace my current setup with a similar package that has remote management and hopefully no annual license fees.  What's out there that would be a comparable replacement and what all would I need to set it up?  I've done a little research into ubiquiti, but I don't know much about their system and setup.

Overall I think the UniFi stuff would be your best bet to allow a nice seamless transition into a similar experience. I personally haven't used any of it but I usually see a lot of positive talk around it although there are a couple of the firewalls/gateways to watch out for due to issues with storage or something along those lines, everything else I've seen has bee good. Additionally, I'm pretty sure the UniFi ecosystem has remote management capabilities in a similar dashboard, or at least it appears that way from a quick search but I'm sure others who use it a bit more can shed more light on it than me :)

I'd love to know more about it.  I've tried watching YT videos about how to set it all up and read some write ups, but most are confusing to me as to what hardware I need to fully setup my network.  Hopefully the community here can provide some better direction than I have found lol.
