There seems to be debate on whether the prosumer stuff, enterprise, or consumer stuff is the best value.
From my experience, something like the ubiquiti edgerouter x and the AC-lite AP, coming in right around $130 shipped, is the best value (on the low end). If you want a lot of features for a small price with great performance, this is a good setup.
It seems that others think that it's "too hard" to set it up properly. If you can watch a YouTube video and follow instructions, you can set it up properly.
So, this is meant to carry on the conversation of what's the best, and why. To give us a baseline, let's say the buyer wants AC WiFi with basic security and regular firmware updates. It doesn't need to be all-in-one or separate components.
Why is this setup not the best? Why is your consumer recommendation better? What are you considering in your recommendation?
