I currently have a $50 Linksys router (with the WiFi disabled) with an older Ubiquity WAP.
I’d like two WAP’s in my home for better coverage. I use a lot of google stuff, and this seems like a pretty good deal? Or not?

No
Good deal, but I think Deco and Eero are better. I went straight to a proper network and never used mesh, but I always read most issues with Orbi and Nest.

This was the mistake I made. Being in the Google ecosystem, and assumed staying ‘in house’ would work well, instead of a) reading reviews of the actual specific product and b) working out exactly what I wanted to achieve in my home network, and buying equipment to match those goals.
Also, the Google APs (the pucks) often stop working after a few days and require a hard reset. Google is aware of this but refuses to fix it. Network hardware should be rock solid once you set it up right.
Thanks for the info, I’ll pass and look into other options.
Since you’ve got a ubiquiti wap, maybe the UDR or UDM? Inbuilt wifi, which is the same as one wap, then just use the existing one you have?
I’m planning to get a UDR, but they’re going to announce a UDR upgrade soon - I’m waiting to see what it’s like (and even if I don’t want it, see how many second hand UDRs are being sold by people who love having the latest stuff)
A lot of initialisms I don’t understand there.
My Ubiquiti wap is very old and doesn’t have 5ghz. Hasn’t been a problem for years as all our PCs are wired. But with 4k streaming on our TV sometimes it doesn’t seem able to keep up.
A just did a quick speedtest with my phone and it only got 14mbits down on the Wifi so it’s time for an upgrade I think.
