Some folks like Ubiquiti and claim it is a notch above consumer equipment.
I'm one of them. My first exposure to it was working remotely on our APs in the London UK office. I've now redone my home internet to 2 load balanced 1.5mbit connections with an Edgerouter-X. The router handles 2 separate PPPoE accounts and balances across them. Then it runs a Unifi AP Lite unit over PoE. I have another AP Lite meshed with the first to extend the range. So I have a single virtual access point everywhere in the house and around my property that automatically hands off between APs, and also switches clients from/to 2.4/5GHz frequencies depending on spectrum use, requirements, proximity to the APs etc. Any device sees a single access point, despite there being 4 separate radios at work. I have never been happy with my home wifi/internet until setting it up like this with their equipment. The second AP Lite is overkill. You can have an ER-X and single AP Lite for ~$225 shipped with tax if you shop around. Much of the consumer 1750 or 1900 spec stuff costs as much and doesn't get firmware updates for more than a year or two, and doesn't let you configure a fraction of what you can with the Ubiquiti kit. Highly recommend!
