This will likely be one of those things requiring experience but as I'm hoping to install a Ubiquiti focused system in my house over the next few weeks, do you have any suggested resources? Particularly on the subjects of spectrum usage, DFS, and channel selection? I'm not in an apartment but still of the opinion that neighboring network boxes are causing congestion on my local system. We're all on Google Fiber with the provided network boxes, which seem to automatically select the same channel. Simply selecting a different channel hasn't seem to improve the situation (and has potentially made things worse).

The /r/homenetworking subreddit will be happy to answer and walk you through your deployment, plan, etc. in whatever level of detail. They basically spend most of their time telling people which Ubiquiti gear to get, since that's the #1 solution to most people's problems (buy good, purpose-built hardware), why to get each peice, and how to arrange it, so basically exactly the sort of thing you're asking.
