Go unifi my guy. Used to use the deco m9 plus as well. Literally don't have to reset my router. Stable connection. Don't forget to add a rack and make everything pretty.
I've got a Deco X10 and two M9 Plus covering three floors of a house. Works great for me. They're decently powered devices, each running about 8-10 WiFi clients including two TVs streaming simultaneously.
Yes. More control is better.
With Unifi you can actually see what's going on with your network.
VLAN partitions are amazing.
With Unifi I find I move between APs way better. With TP Link I found I was often stuck to an worse AP. I'd drop my wifi and reconnect regularily. I don't do that anymore.
Used Deco M9 would be the ideal solution as they have a dedicated wireless backhaul as well as two normal wifi channels giving you a WIFI 5 with a separate backhaul.
Being a few years older, they are also cheap on the used market for what they can do.
I use older Deco M9 Plus (5 pods) that have a dedicated wireless backhaul. I have a wired backhaul to my office but other locations just use the dedicated wireless backhaul (3 floors, \~300 sqm). And that works pretty well, not all locations need absolute max bandwidth and low latency.
