This is the right approach.
I personally use UniFi 6 dishes for my APs, and am never going back to “consumer”.
A note unsaid: typically these also handle band steering and roaming awareness. This means that you can walk from one AP to another and they will connect you seamlessly without fighting over who is stronger, and will adapt to prevent collisions.
Not sure about Aruba (almost guaranteed they have the same), but you want the options to deploy a Wifi config universally across your house, with each member being aware of and cooperating with the others. In UniFi case, they will occasionally scan the spectrum and auto assign the channels for what is least crowded in the range. The group automatically avoids each other during this process and it’s beautiful.
How long until he’s pardoned and made a white house official?
