I now have over 20 devices connected in the house, 3 bed standard sized.
18 of them connect to the Unifi AC lite on a combination of 40 and 80 MHz bandwidth. I have it on the ceiling on the sloped part of the stairwell, easy install to the router in a cupboard directly above it. Which is now a edgerouter 3, previously my old ASUS router.
The old router did the job well, just trying to get everything the same make.
I would go with the SH3 in modem mode, buy a router, the edge 3 is pretty cheap but only really one useable Ethernet port unless you want to software bridge.
I have a unifi switch plugged into the router and another switch downstairs.
For yourself I would recommend the ac lite and a decent router. Get the router from here and the ac lite from amazon. Speed test from my iPad gets usually 280-320 meg on a virgin 350 connection.
The ac lite is around £80 just now..
