The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter lines... do those include wireless, like the Netgears, et al, or are they wired routers only?

Router only, not an all in one unit. That's part of what makes it so nice. You can put the wired equipment in the closet and wall mount the AP so that everything is in the best place for the kind of gear that it is.

The perfect home setup is:
1) Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X

http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ/3) TP-LINK TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch

That's what I do, except that I use a 48 port smart switch so that I get extra visibility and a lot more ports. I am a big believer in being wired whenever possible.

How many devices do you have that you need 48 ports? What features do you need that my simple TL-LINK would not provide you?

A ton, it's actually nearly filled. APs, phones, video game consoles, computers, servers, storage devices, it adds up really quickly. Plus some ports are used to go to unused, available ports around the house.

Cool! Upload a picture so we can see

That was it early on before we put in the larger switch and had all of the wiring done.

This is along the same lines as a Blackhawk or that d-link spaceship router with a million antennas.
For ~$50 more you could buy a small Sophos UTM. Or save money like Scott said and get all ubiquiti.

Wow, hope you cleaned up the wiring.....

Selling the house, not putting too much effort into it now.

@scottalanmiller Leaving the Network switches behind?

Yes. The house would be mostly unusable without them.

Never, ever, buy a UTM, from any vendor. I hate the entire concept of putting everything in a single device.

No. This listed device contains an AC chip. It is impossible to do this with Ubiquiti and be cheaper. The lowest I have ever seen their UAP-AC go for is $250.

http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SG108E-8-Port-Gigabit-Tag-Based/dp/B00K4DS5KU/This is a solid home user setup alright as long as you do not need/want the AC functionality.
I will have to remember that TP-Link switch, though. That is a nice price point for the feature set.

I fall in this camp. Wired performance will always be better than wireless.

Like a hypervisor?

No, like a UTM in your router.

not sure what you mean. How does a hypervisor put lots of things on one device?
