Getting new router & access point

[deadlucifer]

I am shifting to a new house soon (after the pandemic ends), looking to buy a new WiFi system. I don't want a normal consumer grade system. I saw Linus talking about how the professional grade system he installed makes huge difference and I am kinda interested in that unless it costs me a boatload of money, yeah I know it's gonna cost more than a normal mesh system but I am willing to pay the extra for the performance. Please  suggest me some good not so expensive af solutions. I recently saw a video on ubiquiti dream machine, it looks good to me, has ton of features and great UI. I am interested in that kind of all in one device cause buying 3 seperate things ain't gonna be clean. 

Please drop me your suggestions open for all of those, also suggest me some good consumer ones if this doesn't work out. Thanks

How big is your new hours? You might want multiple access points.

 

Id probably go with the unifi system, look at their access points.

 

For router, what are your speeds and feture reuirements?

the house is around 3000 sq.ft. I guess. I'll be hooking up a 200 Mbps network probably, also I have  multiple IOT devices which means I need a stable af connection. I am planning to build a plex server too but that's for future. Inshort my WiFi speed might not be a lot but I need the fast Ethernet speed and yes all of the rooms have Ethernet cables. I think 1 access point will be enough for my setup cause mostly everything will be hardwired

Id probably go with 2 or 3 access points with that size of house, just keeps the speeds up in different parts.

 

How many ports do you want for ethernet? Just get a gigabit switch and you will be fine for most uses unless you want 10gbe, poe is probalby nice to have aswell.

Suggest me some products cause this is probably the only tech I don't have enough knowledge of

Here is the access point Id get a few of https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-access-points/products/unifi-nanohd-us

 

FOr switching, you can go full unifi(not the cheapest, but one pretty easy to use control panel), or go with other brands.

 

For full unifi:

https://store.ui.com/products/unifiswitch-24-250w

 

For router, they have one with a built in controller and some other things, https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/udm-pro

 

Or for a cheap simple router. https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching

I did a write up on my ubiquiti setup here. If I were doing it today I’d use a Dream Machine Pro instead of the USG but aside from that it’s held up pretty good. I think AP Pros are the best bang for your buck, they can’t push as much 5ghz speed as the nanoHD but most devices don’t have the 3x3 mimo capability to pull those speeds anyway.

Thanks everyone will look at your suggestions
