Yeah, I've tried tp-link, d-link, netgear (consumer), and they're all really bad. Each time I think I've found the silver bullet, but I keep hearing how good Ubiquity is. I know they're not defying physics, but I'm sure that as they aimed at commercial then I'll hopefully be getting something way better than what I'm getting now.

I think this plus laying cable should last me another 10-20 years

In my neck of the woods (France), Ubiquite is fairly expensive. I've had good results with a cheapish (~100 €) netgear "business" access point, the wax214.

It supports poe, wifi ax (but only on 5 GHz), wpa 3 and can broadcast 4 separate networks, each on its own vlan (but it doesn't do any routing). It's been great for random iot junk that I don't want on my main network.

Routing is handled by an old HP elitedesk I've saved from the bin at work.

Yes Netgear prosafe gear is great too, even unmanaged. Anything made for business is going to be more solid than comsumer stuff.
