My Mercusys Mesh Wifi System only has a Cloud UI.

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.
