With this in-between method, what reason might there be to add the new router later?
- Stability (never needs a reboot)
- Performance (there is no longer a question of "Is my router a weak link?")
- Reduction in cables (power over ethernet)
- Security (each port on the EdgeMAX is a different network, this is powerful... you can use a different port (network) for things like games consoles and internet-of-things devices knowing that they cannot trivially access or see your laptops or NAS)
- Stability (never needs a reboot)
Velocio-
Think you have recommended this stuff to me before... I am going to need a relatively big setup. Current plan:
- Router in hallway
- Switch in hallway (24 port I think)
- Wireless access point on every floor (3 floors), ceiling mounted
- 2 ports in every room, (8 rooms)
- Long cable to log cabin in garden
- Switch in log cabin (needs at least 6 ports)
- Wireless access point in log cabin (running off the above switch?)
Would you still recommend Ubiquiti for this set up? Would like wifi to all be on one SSID, so it automatically switches to strongest access point as you move around.

I think I'm going to go for the set-up you advised. I like the idea of running a cable to the middle of the house for the Unify UAP.
I've just been on hold for ages to our ISP and gave up.
Can any router be set to modem mode? I have the admin password so can get in to change settings but don't really know what I'm looking for.
