Help me spec out a replacement home network using Ubiquiti bits

That's it - I've finally lost it with Linksys and both my WRT 1900ACs that are only a year old are getting chucked. Don't get me started on all the reasons why, but it's primarily down to continued degradation of wifi signal and the constant need for reboots. Going by the responses to this tweet, that's just what they do: https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/778867707655487488

I’m going all out with Ubiquiti instead. No, I'm not interested in [insert the other thing you think rocks here], there's a really vocal majority in favour of Ubiquiti so that's that. Now I need help speccing out what I need for my house as it’s not quite as straight forward as just chucking in a couple of (dodgy) routers.

Here’s what I’m working with:

  • Large multi-level house about 500m2 (needs at least 2 APs, probably more)
  • Wired ethernet to every room (I believe Cat 5e, was here when I got here)
  • Patch board in the garage and a 100Mbps hub (running patch cables out to a Linksys 8 port gigabit switch instead)
  • 4 wired connection
