Reddit mentions of Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-PRO-E Access Point (No PoE Included In Box) 2-Pack Bundle

Invest in your company, invest in your infrastructure.

I'm going to demur from your provided list, and instead offer an alternative solution. Just hear me out before you look for sticker shock (all prices in USD).

Ubiquiti 24-port Gigabit Switch with PoE ($379)

Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway ($129)

Ubiquiti Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 ($195)

Ubiquiti Unfi UAP-AC-PRO-E 2-pack ($290)

Total cost: $993

Why am I suggesting you spend almost three times the average cost of one of those small-business routers? A few reasons.

First is performance. Ubiquiti makes 'prosumer' / Enterprise level equipment. The Access Points (APs, last entry) are each rated for 200+ simultaneous connections. When deployed right, you'll probably connect to one consistently; the other will be used by the network to identify which WiFi channels are least congested and migrate you and your clients to those less congested frequencies. In the end, that's your real problem: congestion. With 62 competing access points, it can be hard for your devices to 'hear' your router. So you need a product with some real oomph to get your AP heard. Ubiquiti can do that in spades.

The second is professionalism. What looks better to a client? A plastic black box on a desk somewhere, or an access point hung from the ceiling, like you'd find in a fortune 500 company's headquarters? ubiquit's stuff is slick, sleek, and professional.

So what are you getting for your money?

The switch (first entry) is used to provide power to the Access Points (PoE: Power over Ethernet), and since you have some extra ports there, you can also run a connection to a server, or hardwired connection to laptops, or whatever you might come up with.

The security gateway is the real 'router' in this set up, but it has no wifi capability built in; this is why you need the Access Points. The way it works, you would take your ISP's modem, set it to bridge mode, and then connect the modem to the security gateway, and the security gateway to the switch.

The cloud key is the brains of the network. It will host the controller software and allow you to set up the wifi. While this software can in theory be run on any device, this particular cloud key also contains a hard drive - very useful if you'd like to install security cameras in the office (I'm sure your insurance company would be VERY grateful, if you dont have these already). As a side note, Ubiquiti does make PoE-powered security cameras.

This setup will 100% guarantee that your wifi is the dominant 'voice' in your office. You won't have dropouts, you won't have connection issues, and this setup is very expandable - 1 port for the gateway, 1 port for the cloud key, 2 for the APs, (ideally) 5 for wired connections for you and your coworkers - that still leaves 13 connections on the switch, which means you can still expand this if you hire more employees. If you find you need a backup ISP, there's a grade higher security gateway that can handle redundant ISP connections. If you need to cover more area with WiFi, you can add another access point.

Make the setup look really professional and install everything into a patch panel cabinet like this one

Hire an electrician who specializes in running ethernet cable, and have them mount the APs in your ceiling (super easy if you have a drop ceiling. If not, its more difficult, but not by any means impossible). While they're there, have them run at least one ethernet line to everyone's desk.

edit: and less you think I'm blowing smoke up your ass, I use a frighteningly similar setup in my own home. Yes, it's overkill, no I don't care. It's the most stable WiFi I've had in a house in my life.

Wow that is a great starting point to get a dream network install
And by dream I mean your dream and also the network intall guys dream ;)

​

For what you have:
A 40+ heught full rack that is wll ebted. Also you already have installed good network cables on a patch pannel.

From the looks of it also a PowerDistributionUnit is already installed.

​

What I would do with it:
Install a grat network
Costs about 4 Units of height

e.g. a full ubiqity UniFy setup:
https://amzn.to/2XyulfS + https://amzn.to/2XFgk00 + https://amzn.to/2G3Uk3I + https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-AC-PRO-Access-Included/dp/B07CKG5LJF

For a install like this suitable mount points in the house are already there...


Install a Uninteruptable Power Supply
Another 4-6 height units
https://amzn.to/30pyTlG

This way your system stays up for power outages of 1h (more makes little sense since by then the UPS at the provider typically are also out of battery)

​

Install a rack mount NAS for all your Data
Anoter 2-3 Height units

The rest is harder to fill up if you don't want to put in your own server infrastructure...

I prsonally would also build a high end computer / Gaming machine and use steam link / thin client to connect to it. This way The noisy hot gaming setup is in the garage ;)
