For switches i thought of going with Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM as this has 4 10g ports and 24 Gig ports in addition to POE. So what i was thinking was to use Mikrotik for the switches and stick to Unifi for Wi-Fi access points. Also the general feedback seems to be that Mikrotik Access Points are just not worth the effort compared to Unifi.

I researched the brand a bit more and what i seem to have found is that Mikrotik from a switches hardware point of view is same if not better than Unifi switches, but from a software perspective Unifi is way better and hence there is a steep learning curve with Mikrotik. That’s when i came across Toms video on Mikrotik 10g Switch. Pfsense of Local PC -> Unifi 10G switch US 16 XG -> USW-24Port-POE -> USW 5 port switch (for media centre) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PROĪnyways I was calculating the cost of this setup in terms of just switches and APs, it works out to about the equivalent of USD 1500. Netgate is unbelievably expensive in my country. UDM PRO -> Unifi 10G switch US 16 XG -> USW-24Port-POE -> USW 5 port switch (for media center) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PROīut after doing some research on UDM PRO and raising the same here on this forum and responses from Tom i have now dropped the UDM Pro and replaced it with PFsense, but will be running this on an old PC for now. I had originally thought of going fully Unifi as follows: I was planning to revamp my network setup.
