It is irritating, but the System was cheap, the WiFi connectivity and speed are good, and there isn't too much I need to configure or examine for just WiFi. I wouldn't even begin to consider using a device with Cloud UI as a router/gateway. I also have a WiFi switch (Shelly) with a Cloud UI, which is annoying. I will replace it, when I can find a sensible alternative device.
