Choosing the right hardware
Hey all,
I’m planning the setup for my home and wanted to sanity-check my hardware choices before before buying everything.
**Edit: My current plan will be 2.5gb, but ISP said 4gb will be avaible in Q4 of 2026.
Here’s what I’m currently looking at:
Cloud Gateway Fiber
Switch Pro Max 16 PoE
2x U6+ Access Points
UniFi Doorbell Lite
PoE Smart Chime
10G DAC cable
A couple things I’m unsure about:
Are the U6+ APs still a good choice in 2026, or should I be looking at something newer?
Am I missing anything obvious (or wasting money somewhere)?
For context: medium-sized double storey home, a lot of wired devices, growing number of IoT devices, and I like to tinker but don’t need enterprise-level complexity.
Would really appreciate any feedback, especially from people running similar setups.
Thanks!
