I personally run a bunch of obsolete Aruba, Juniper, and Ruckus gear at home. It works pretty well, doesn't cost very much, generally doesn't require licenses or cloud, and supports every feature under the sun. The only problem is power consumption, but I don't mind burning ~200W on my whole house's network infrastructure.
This is a great way to go if you don't mind the power consumption and/or learning how to administer them. You can buy used Juniper equipment that went for 4 to 5 figures when it was new, for dirt cheap (2 figures). Still plenty sufficient for home use. If you've never done Juniper before it can be a bit of a learning curve, but the equipment is really solid.
