Ubiquiti makes really good stuff–I recently had a great experience setting it up for a 50-person office–but it's not necessarily a replacement for actual mesh wifi since you still need ethernet (and PoE) to hook them up.

My parents house is large, old, allergic to wifi and complicated to wire for ethernet...I set up a mesh network for them last year and it has been a revelation after years of terrible wifi.

I'm pretty sure all the unifi APs support a wireless uplink. They also have "mesh APs". But they do still need the PoE injector if you don't have a PoE switch.

Ah indeed it looks like they enabled multi-hop wireless uplink via a firmware update last summer about a month after I set up my parents house, so I was behind the times on that.

APs do support wireless uplinks
