You're looking to improve your home network setup. It seems you're considering a router without Wi-Fi and an access point in the main room. You mentioned thinking about the U7 Lite for the Wi-Fi side, but are unsure what to choose for the router itself. Since you plan to stay a few years, upgrading later could be a great idea. Let me know if you'd like more details!
The top value for money is the UCG-Ultra. The only upgrades besides swapping the whole router are getting a UCG-Max or UCG-Fiber without storage, which you can add later—storage is just needed for Protect (surveillance) and logging traffic flows over time (some reports say only an hour or two is kept without extra storage).
Certainly! The U7-Lite can run on a U-PoE injector as a power source.
