Home network build-out

I'm looking to replace my FTTP (EE in the UK) kit with a Unifi system and would like some feedback on my selection...

  • Cloud Gateway Fibre
  • U7 Pro XG access point, powered over PoE+ from:
  • Switch Flex 2.5G PoE

Plan is to install the UCG-Fiber on the wall (with the magnetic mount) next to the fibre CPE box. USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE (also wall mounted in a built-in wardrobe) will be in another room on the same floor (I already have a Cat6e cable going there) to replace a Netgear 8-port 1G switch. The U7-Pro-XG would be powered over PoE+ from the Flex, and mounted nearby on the ceiling. I also have a Flex Mini in the same room as the UCG-Fibre would be, which I'd power via PoE from that device.

Setup is intended to service a mix of mainly 1G ethernet and various Wi-Fi clients, with the ability to segment some WFH laptops.

Any comments from the Reddit hivemind?
