Cons

  • UDR seems the most appealing, but I’m worried it may become limiting later.
  • I really like the UDR 7 as device, however: 1. it can't even support 2 G6 bullet Camera's if they're set to 4k 2. I feel the SD card makes it more prone for failure/data loss.

For you, something like the Unifi Dream Router 7 + additional AP. It is still fairly easy to set up without a lot of knowledge but will be expandable as your network grows. Good bang for the buck as it will have long-term support while most store bought routers will hit EoL quicjly.
