Tech question… If I was to get a mesh wifi setup, would the stock standard Google one be ok? Comes with Mesh router and two extra points… Current setup is router and secondary ap feeding single story house and shed… Wifi is questionable outside and at furthest point from router…
I wouldn’t call Ubiquiti corporate level, it’s more prosumer. I’ve seen mixed bag reviews on their more recent stuff, I currently use their wifi APs and home and they work brilliantly for that purpose, but I also have network cabling throughout the house and a server cupboard with several NAS units in it, so… 😂 They do have all in one routers but typically their stuff is better when you get the stuff that does one thing well (like their APs or their managed switches). That does tend to be overkill for most people though where a mesh setup or even a single Wifi router will suffice.
I’ve also had a lot of luck with TP-Link stuff in the past, both in their stock configurations and also reflashing some routers with OpenWRT (custom firmware), so they’re usually a solid recommendation in my opinion.

Edit… Or TpLink / Netgear…?
I’d look at the asus offering. Cant speak to their mesh stuff, but as a router I’ve been VERY happy.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I think it’s between TpLink and Google, and also my bank account.
