    From the reviews I?ve read it?s one of the best and easy to set up.
    Thats what I set my neighbor up with and he has been happy with it.

      Ubiquiti Unifi is not a prepackaged mesh system. However, it's not overly complicated to pick a router and mesh access points. The Unifi system has gotten much more user friendly over the past couple years. After setting up the router, the system automatically detects the access points when they power up and will ask you to adopt the device.

      I have three of these systems and have used and abused them for years. I have a mesh point on the roof in Palm Springs that has survived for years in extreme conditions. Since I don't get reliable cell service there, the mesh system has been great for an iPhone and wifi assist. I get a strong wifi signal everywhere on the property and rarely drop calls.

      Many of the Unifi routers also integrate their Protect video system (cameras, doorbells, flood lights) and other systems like door locks and phone systems.
      Thanks for the additional info on the unifi/ubiquiti solution and it sounds doable for me. Based on the comments here, I've narrowed things down to the Orbi or Ubiquiti and will keep an eye open for a good sale.
