The UCG-Max is a great router. However, you're limiting your capabilities using the Wifi 5 APs. If cost is a constraint, you might consider two Express 7 routers. They're all-in-one devices and support Wifi 7.
Alternatively, consider the UCG-Max with better APs...at least ones that support wifi 6.
I use a UCG Max with two U6+ AP's in a 1200sq ft house. I get 500-750mbps download anywhere in my house. Ionly use 5ghz, 2.4ghz radios are disabled. Both AP's set to medium transmit power. Devices switch at -55dbm. However, I only have two wifi devices, everything else is hard wired.
And yes, you can plug it into 10gb ports and it will automatically negotiate to 2.5
We have a hosted Omada controller, as well as a hosted Unifi controller. The Omada controller is much harder to admin, update and generally keep stable. The only reason we have it is for a set of ER706W-4G router/firewalls, which we’d like to replace with the new Unifi Dream Router 5G Max.
