Is there an advantage to using hardware controller VS web based controller?

Hey guys, just a simple question I would like to figure out… I have a simple home network, absolutely nothing special about it, but I love alta labs products and buying another piece of hardware to support this company would make me happy but I’m trying to see if I can benefit anything from it. Im of course using the web based controller to setup and operate my network. IF I was to buy the hardware controller, what would I gain from that 150$ purchase? anything ?

No. It allows you to manage and make changes to your network without using their web controller. This only comes into play if their service goes down or isn’t accessible by some other means.
