Advice on UniFi

[Drekay]

I am looking to replace my years old TP-link slave router as it keeps dropping signal.

My IT guy is recommending the UniFi, anyone have any advice if its worth the price? Have quite a large space that I want to cover with WiFi

I have a complete Unifi setup that covers my entire property. The setup is reliable and I have had absolutely no issues roaming around the house or outdoors. I strongly recommend Ubiquiti if you want something reliable.
My current setup is:
Unifi USG
2 X 8-Port POE Switches
2 X Unifi AP-AC-LR
1 X Unifi AP-AC-Lite
1 X Unifi Cloud Key - for management

Unifi is more expensive but in my opinion, worth the money as I no longer have the aggravation of wireless dropouts and intermittent issues.

I have the complete unifi set, don't do it.

get a Tp-Link Deca and be done, smooth, no wires, no control unit and locked in vendor crap

How large is the space you want to cover? How nerdy are you / are you willing to get? Will you need to run IP Cameras / VLANs / IoT on your network?

All these are considerations - Unifi kit is great - im slowly building mine after moving from an Airties Mesh system. The Mesh was great until there was stuff i wanted to do that it didn't allow me easily - i consider myself relatively nerdy and can get stuck into configs etc so Unifi made sense. I will be setting up separate VLANs once i get a USG / UDM but for now am using the and loving the Wifi component
