From the square foot thing, I assume you're in America?

That's fine. I assume the router patches into a switch box, and the switch box patches into your room?

Since you've got a ubiquiti wap, maybe the UDR or UDM? Inbuilt wifi, which is the same as one wap, then just use the existing one you have?

I'm planning to get a UDR, but they're going to announce a UDR upgrade soon - I'm waiting to see what it's like (and even if I don't want it, see how many second hand UDRs are being sold by people who love having the latest stuff)

I use a lot of google stuff, and this seems like a pretty good deal?

This was the mistake I made. Being in the Google ecosystem, and assumed staying 'in house' would work well, instead of a) reading reviews of the actual specific product and b) working out exactly what I wanted to achieve in my home network, and buying equipment to match those goals.

Also, the Google APs (the pucks) often stop working after a few days and require a hard reset. Google is aware of this but refuses to fix it. Network hardware should be rock solid once you set it up right.
