I'm somewhat stuck on Unifi for wifi APs and Routers, because all the other consumer-grade devices can't handle the number of small IoT devices I've got. Netgear and Asus just lose connections with ESP devices and refuse to let them connect after about a dozen. The commercial grade stuff, in addition to being too expensive, is all rack mounted, high power draw and noisy af.
Aside from the fact that my stuff seems stable on the Ubiquiti hardware, I hate the products. The interface is terrible, Unifi insists on hiding the advanced networking behind a halfass gui, the SSH console lacks half the features of even that terrible gui, and every time i try to create a new routed network, the wifi devices stop connecting.
I use unifi for wifi because honestly I like the dashboard.
But.. for anything layer 3, I'm using MikroTik. It's extremely powerful without actually running your own router, and many are Poe as well. I'm running a RB5009 which is overkill for me.
I chose RB5009 because it runs DoH, ZeroTier, sub interfaces, it's rack mountable, passively cooled, poe capable, and can handle up to 2.5gb symmetrical. I just wish they had 2 x SFPs so I can use a full 10gb WAN
Was about to mention Mikrotik. They even have a 100GBit switch for under $800 (CRS504-4XQ-IN).
