Pros

  • I recently picked up a UniFi Express 7 for my parents. This will be my first unify device so I don't have any knowledge about them.
  • Another vote for the Unifi UX7. Start out as a gateway and you can always add a switch / more APs or convert it to an AP.
  • A UX7 is an easy start -- if you need to upgrade it later, it becomes an AP, and you just backup/restore your network config to a UCG or UDR.
  • The only thing they offer that just does network is the cloud gateway ultra or the Unifi express 7 if you needed another AP.
  • Unifi Express 7 If it can be placed somewhat central-ish, one AP should provide decent coverage.

Cons

  • if you're using three UX7's, then if you take a look at the Rtings testing for the UX7 versus the (now $50 cheaper) Eero Pro 7, you'll notice the UX7 absolutely eats beans compared to the Eero on range so you might as well buy the Eero f...
  • I wish I had gotten the UniFi Express 7 which is essentially the same with less ports. I misunderstood something so 70 dollars probably wasted although I ended up using the porta.
  • I've personally landed on UniFi Express 7 + Switch Flex 2.5G PoE, but I am worried about the range of the UX7 vs. my current asus rt-ax86u + two extenders that have worked well for me.
  • The UniFi dream router 7 isn’t your only option with them, look at the UniFi express 7.

if you're using three UX7's, then if you take a look at the Rtings testing for the UX7 versus the (now $50 cheaper) Eero Pro 7, you'll notice the UX7 absolutely eats beans compared to the Eero on range so you might as well buy the Eero for best performance.

I wanted to be able to get a small router, like the Unifi Express 7, and have it connect back home so that it can extend my local network and have access to my stuff

Yes, you could easily get by with a Unifi Express 7 and one extra AP
