I have Unifi AC APs in my house. Expensive, but 100% worth it. They've struck a really great balance between configurability+power/ease-of-use. I compare it to my Mikrotik switch that while being able to do pretty much anything I could want to do, has such a steep learning curve that I ended up just using it as a slightly fancy home firewall/switch. I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Ubiquiti switches and another three AC units for my house to cover the last few dead zones. It's been one of my favorite purchases. I really want to play around with VLANs for guest networks.

Yeah I have a Mikrotik manages switch and Ubiquiti router. The Mikrotik UI feels like I can do absolutely crazy stuff but I can't figure out how. Ubiquiti can do the same stuff but is a little more reserved in how many knobs and options it shows you. Both are great hardware, but different bends - Mikrotik is "here is everything you could ever com figure out what you want" while Ubiquiti is "with great power comes responsibility." I like both a lot, but I think Ubiquiti has the edge if I had to choose.
