I have heard about Ubiquiti a lot from infra folks here. How hard is it to setup? I am IT/Comp Sci background but from the software not hardware side. So a lot of concepts are lost on me from lack of experience.

Given a comparison, I use a eero Pro system because it is fairly fast, but it is also zero maintenance. I am not sure if it is worth it to switch to a more manual system? One upgrade would be speed as I have Telus Fiber but eero tops out at 300mbps. Another would be coverage as you mention outdoors. I have an erro in the garage wired but something with more coverage would be great.

That was a bit of a ramble, but in your opinion is it worth ditching a high end consumer mesh for this type of system if your not a infra person?
