Hello, I’m debating on whether the Netgear Orbi 970 mesh wifi is better or the Ubiquiti E7 Campus WiFi access point is better? Any difference with the two? I am thinking of putting them in my house. The diagram shows my idea for my home network setup. 

What stays the same with both layouts are that I will use the Ubiquiti ES-17-XG switch and Ubiquiti PRO XG 8 switch. Both of the diagrams will use the Ubiquiti Single-Mode SFP+ module for the duplex LC Single mode fiber optic cable to connect from the ES-16-XG Switch to the PRO XG 8 switch in each room including garage. I will run the fiber optic cables in wall and through the attic. I already have the cable passthrough plate I got from Amazon. I already have a cable modem that I will connect to either the Netgear Orbi 970 router or Ubiquiti switch. All Ethernet cables including connection to the E7 campus or Netgear Orbi 970 router and satellite, will use the Cat 8 Ethernet cables. 

Questions:

- Can the Ubiquiti E7 Campus do a wired backhaul and mesh the WiFi SSID just like the Netgear Orbi 970?

- Can the Ubiquiti E7 Campus be configured to use same SSID just like the Netgear Orbi 970?

- Would putting the E7 in my backyard as indicated in the diagram cause any interference?

- Is it necessary to have each of the extender in each room?

- Will having many access points like the ones in my diagram cause issues?

- Will the Netgear Orbi 970 have any issues with the Ubiquiti switches?


Netgear Orbi 970 or Ubiquiti E7 Campus?
