I aimed to identify the necessary components for your network setup. For Ubiquiti solutions, you’ll need a suitable router, possibly a mesh unit, and possibly a switch. You mentioned devices like phones, a laptop, tablet, gaming PC with Cat5e cabling, a chrome browser, and a Roku—consider adding a dedicated Wi-Fi extender or mesh node if coverage is needed. Parts suggestions include a reliable Ubiquiti gateway or AP, Ethernet cables for the gaming PC, and possibly a small access point for better range.
