UniFi has a great designer tool that will help you figure coverage with the different devices.

If that’s the case get a ubiquiti Unifi system. Gateway plus access points. Best performance per dollar with a wired backhaul

UniFi is the most solid networking platform.

Unifi is no easier/harder than Omada. I'd steer clear of Mikrotik for Wifi unless you *really* know what you're doing.

Yeah. You dint need to do anything he said. Unifi is as complex is you want it to be. Using the app to set things up isn't too complex. If you go to thr web interface it can do everything, and can get complex. I like that it gets updates. I've had the same router for about 4 years now and it's got way more features than it did originally. They add all sorts of new stuff every month. It can also run cameras, which work really well and don't require a subscription. Nothing is stored in the cloud.

My mom has eero and I have a big unifi system. Eero is super basic. You can config a few things in the app. More advanced stuff is hidden behind a monthly subscription. It works, but the admin interface is terrible and has fewer features than the isp's free router. If you want to do anything more than have wifi, you'll be disappointed. Unifi can scale from a single wifi for an apartment to a full network, camera, and access control for a large company. Nothing requires a subscription. Yes, unifi is more complex but you can get the basic stuff up pretty easily enough. If you later want to get into complex network stuff, it can do that too. Eero came free from the isp. Beyond that, I wouldn't buy it again. It's way too basic for my needs.

You can build a much more reliable and scalable system for less money with much better components from Unifi. Consumer mesh is a joke.

Unifi by a country mile, and it's not even close.

love the unifi ecosystem and products ... but be careful, an addiction can form and you'll end up with 11 switches, 20 cameras and 10 APs
