[ale] Future-proofing a house for networking -- what to run?

[Kyle Brieden]

EdgeOS, and absolutely LOVE my ubiquity gear.  I  got the Unifi 8 port 
PoE switch, Unifi Security Gateway, and the WAP that support 802.11ac.  
It has literally changed my home networking.  Can't recommend it enough. 
  I got all 3 of those seriously high grade boxes for about the same 
price you pay for a consumer router that supports 802.11ac.

HIGHLY recommend.
