Mikrotiks are good, and they are cheap, but they are very hands-on in setup, you have to know what are you doing.

I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing, but still find Mikotik confusing and hard to set up for non-trivial use cases. Like configuring an SSID per VLAN.

Which AP are you looking at for the outdoors ?
I was responsible for a small office, and I tried a bunch of different big-brand expensive prosumer APs, and they all had troubles.
I then tried Unifi gear, which wasn’t as easy to set up, but it worked flawlessly and has done so for years. I’ve since used a few different Ubiquiti products in a few other situations and the gear has just run solidly with zero trouble.
I have used other reliable gear: the Apple Airport was great but now discontinued, every Fritzbox I have dealt with has been fine, and I currently have a Mikrotic at home which has been reliable (albeit in a very undemanding environment). I am about to add a outdoors Ubiquiti AP at home.
Maybe gear is more reliable now, but I recommend Ubiquiti to friends and it hasn’t let me down yet.
