If you buy Unifi from BroadbandBuyer they supply a free 3 year licence to the UnifiCloud Portal, thereafter it’s £10/Device/Year. I have deployed a lot of Unifi and it is now our go to for small networks, using their PoE switches is really convenient and tidy, no wall wart psu or bricks needed, the switches go into the same Portal and it’s dead easy to update firmware across the entire system, change password, add SSID, Guest access etc.
When I have to use PowerLines I deploy Devolo as they have proved to be less prone to failure than the other stuff I have tried out, in fairness this stuff gets better, cheaper and more reliable as it matures but a wired network is always preferable to PowerLine in y experience and opinion, I’d maybe pull back a bit and go with luke warm garbage.
Repeating never works 100% when you get a busy network and bunny hop more than once in my experience.
A decent cabling guy can make things very discrete and domestically acceptable but there is a greater cost involved in cabling a house so it likely only makes sense if you’re staying put, although the construction companies I do IT work for seem to be rolling RJ45 throughout a lot of their builds these days so must be something buyers are looking at especially as home offices must be spinning up at a rapid pace these days.
