re: Wireless Access Point Question

I would get a system that is POE more than likely. Cables have been run to the walls and down near the power outlets.
I was just going to get a low voltage gangway and begin the termination process for them. I wired it essentially where every jack will have a close by outlet should I need it.
My biggest concern was the configuration. Im not necessarily tech savy but had no problem doing the actual physical part of pulling the wire and terminating everything.
I currently have a netgear nighthawk x6 router that is a few years old. Im getting to the point where I think it would be easier to get a modem/router package together and start fresh.
Id like the modem/router to broadcast a signal near my office even though it will be hardwired. Then id have an access point by the master and then upstairs for max coverage.
I see netgear has a few options that mount to the ceiling.

If you are going to do multiple access points and one network then you will probably end up with mesh units and they don't use PoE. Just something to think about.
Also, a really good access point with beam forming and all that located centrally can cover a large house easily. You may not need several units if you get a good spot.

I like ubiquiti stuff, dream machine and 2 wifi6 access points cover my house perfectly. Roughly 4,200ft plus garage and back patio/yard area. Excellent coverage everywhere better equipment/management capability than consumer grade mesh stuff that’s going to cost nearly as much if not more.
