I went the same way as... honestly, my IT burnout kicked in. I went from an overly complex setup down to... well, a Ruckus AP running as an Unleashed gateway directly hooked to a FiOS ONT, its second port feeding a QNAP.

That's it, the entire network. Just enough storage to enjoy some media, the QNAP runs HomeAssistant (literally just to bridge some stuff to HomeKit) and Tailscale, and that's all I really need.
