I have an all-Ubiquiti network in my home. Their newer routers/gateways are much
better than the older-generation USG they replaced. They can now route IDS/IPS traffic at Gigabit speeds which was a huge problem with the USG. I used to have the USG. You'd be lucky to get 250 Mbps with IDS/IPS on a USG so I turned it off. There are four choices now with the new small routers.
For more robust firewall solutions you need something like OPNsense or pfSense. I have been experimenting with OPNsense.
What I like about Ubiquiti gear is purpose-built components managed by a single user-friendly Network application rather than the all-in-one approach of most consumer-grade gear; although Ubiquiti has some of that as well.
I have a home built in the late 80s so no Ethernet cabling, no patch panel, etc. I had to run Ethernet cables through my attic and down through walls where I wanted switches, APs, etc. I also dropped a cable through a closet floor down into the basement where I have a switch and AP.
