- 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)

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.

What on Earth do you need all that for?
But yes :)
The only thing I'd add in addition to just more (more switches and access points) is one of these:
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-cloud-key/
Which is a mini computer which will orchestrate your whole setup and includes a permanently free licence to the Ubiquiti Controller https://www.ubnt.com/enterprise/software/ for which the doc is here: https://dl.ubnt.com/guides/UniFi/UniFi_Controller_V3_UG.pdf
Most people who run this stuff never need a Controller... but it sounds like you would benefit from being able to use your laptop or phone to diagnose and view your whole network and control everything from your sofa.
