I'm looking for advice on how best to possibly deploy a Ubiquiti install in my bungalow.
When I purchased my home I did a lot of work to it including installing CAT6 cabling (24 ports) with a Network Rack in my Garage. CAT6 points are punched down to a patch panel and in-turn are connected to a 24 Port HP Procuve unmanaged GB switch.
I have Plusnet Unlimited Fibre (80/20) which comes into my BT master socket in my living room. The BT vDSL modem connects back to the garage where my ASUS AC66U router sits as well.
This is a photo of my install prior to it being finished as my Drobo NAS sits on the shelve below and the switch and patch panel are both full to capacity. What I like is some advice as to the best way to deploy Unifi as my Wifi reception in my bedrooms at the back of the house isn't great.
I know I'll need the rack mount USG to replace my ASUS router and a rack mount Unfi Switch, to supply POE to the Unifi AP's.
My main question is could I just buy a 16 port Unifi switch to run the AP's and just uplink it to my existing 24 port HP Procurve, or would I be better to replace the unmanaged 24 port HP Procurve with a 24 Port Unifi Switch along with a separate 16 Port Unifi switch to run the AP's and provide future network expansion?
Also how many Unifi AP's would I need, my house is about 112sqm and a modern timber frame construction?
