More 5ghz APs penetrate even better2.4ghz penetrates better.
Neither is better. Both are tradeoffs.
A good 2.4GHz signal will go further and still provide plenty of bandwidth for 4k streaming.
If you can't get a good 2.4GHz signal where you need it... you won't get a 5.0GHz signal regardless, and you'll need to start improvising.
This can be done with a phone (they have an app), and it runs quite well of a Pi 4, where it can run alongside a piHole installation and anything else one would want.They also need to be set up using the Unifi software.

Unifi is comparatively fairly easy. UNMS is a bit of a pain if you're using their Edgerouters (like I am), because it wants x86 base hardware and a Linux kernel. I've run both virtualized on an x86 appliance, but that's quite a bit more annoyance than just using the Raspberry Pi imager to load the latest Ubuntu LTS onto an SD card and then following the web instructions.I did not realize that. They may have added this feature long after I set up my dedicated Unifi Server VM.

Yup. The Edgerouter 4 I have below is really the minimum spec unit you'd want while being able to turn on all the features, and it ain't cheap for 'just a router'. I got mine on sale, mostly because it's set up like most enterprise routers are with respect to configuration and so forth, and that's really what I wanted.Ah. I bough tone of their Edgerouters once but wound up returning it under their return policy. I was very disappointed in its ability to run QoS.
I'm working up the mental commitment to stand one of these up again. My x86 appliance has a J3160 in it, which has AES-NI, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with my configuration skills to the point that I'm willing to risk WAF points by putting it on the edge . I did run Untangle for a bit, but it crashed regularly and introduced some annoying lag.I run pfSense now on custom hardware, in large part because I want to run as high speed OpenVPN connection on the router as possible.
Eh, if they're running a server, they'll get there eventually. First it's a question of base capability, then one of performance optimization, and then (assuming standard consumer perspectives) it's one of security.This is probably way more than what the OP is going for thouhg.
