Laptop uses that quite handily when I am sat in the front room with no cables.
And how often do you use the full 1 Gbps?
rarely I'll admit, as I'll often go into my office to do post on the big screen rather than work on laptop, but I can and do a fair bit on my laptop and I will definitely use faster if I can, why wouldn't I, it's there?
In fact I should correct that, I use it everyday, one office uses AP to AP wifi bridging and the machines sit on the AP hub, they use it all the time, I forget it is not wired as it is so fast.

"Smart" dishwasher.
My smart dishwasher actually has a 1GbE network card in it. I’ve got 12MP video cameras that are still running 100Mbps but the dishwasher shows up in the UniFi dashboard at 1GbE.
This is what I can’t get my head around. Literally every device in your network has to be 160MHz capable or none of them will run at 160MHz and if anything, anything at all pops up that is even 80MHz it will all drop to match the slowest speed device. So every one of your ‘functioning’ devices must be 4x4 AC and 160MHz capable.
I think that is the case for AC devices but I think OFDMA sorts that out for AX devices, My laptop is the only 5GHz AC device I have, in addition I have wired AP per room for most part, so wifi devices live on different access points, no real wifi contention due to my lovely house not letting wifi pass.

Quick double-check guys:
- I've got a UDM SE with Cat 6 wires to six U6 Pros.
- One of them runs to our study which has several PCs and two NAS' in them.
- Currently the U6 Pro in there is connected to a normal switch which has cable from the UDM Pro and then a cable via a PoE injector to the U6 Pro.
Question: which switch do I need to directly power from the UDM SE directly like the other U6 Pros are?
There's such a dizzying array and they seem to range from relatively cheap to insanely expensive and I can't quite work out why!
Ideally it'd have 8+ ports if possible for all the other devices

I have the lite 16, it’s a cracking switch with 8 ports of POE+ with a 45w total budget.
I have both the 8 16 port USW-lite switches. They will do the job.
They are in stock at Ubiquiti store for once but the shipping is expensive so a good excuse to buy some more kit. broadbandbuyer has some in stock at a higher price if you prefer a UK stockist.

Quick one on port aggregation.. the port manager in Unifi doesn’t show quite the same as port 1, but I assume this is normal as everything is working (ie the switch says it’s a 2Gbps connection):
Just think it’s a bit odd that port 2 wouldn’t say the same as port 1.

Looking at Dream Machine and Dream Router for a family member for a couple of things. Extend wireless with an additional PoE 8 port switch and NanoHD wireless AP. However the main reason is to provide simple networking for content control and such. Sadly their father was killed on duty in a RTA in August last year. So I've been unravelling xBox accounts, Apple and so forth. They've got a Virgin connection, which I recently enabled the various content filtering as a quick start. Kids are 11 and 14.
I'm personally using a FW and 24 port switching etc. but my setup is OTT. Not looking to do VLANs and all that to start with.

If you want content filtering then buy a cheap dual NIC Celeron or Pentium box and install the home version of Untangle. Yes it’s £100 for a 3-year subscription but you literally tick one box eg. Adult and nothing in that category will pass the router. And you can specify that category by client, group of clients or everyone.

I have spare kit that I could actually put Untangle on. mmm I have a spare unused untangle license too.
I would do, but thinking of keeping it simple / etc. they're not a tech family.

How is a PC that auto-boots on power-on any more complex than a BT router that does the same thing?
True from that aspect.
And if you needed to do anything else you could just dial in and sort it.
Absolutely and can setup email reports to their Mum re activity.. Just looking at Pondesk options and such
