We’re moving into a new build house and I’m wanting to move away from our TPLink setup. We’re a young family so we don’t need super crazy networking. Really something that gives us wifi throughout the house (basement, main floor, second floor) and the backyard. We’ll have our Telus fibre (1.5 Gbps).
I have my cart loaded with two Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7 - one acting as a primary router located in the basement and the second acting as an AP located on the second floor. I’ll add a Ubiquiti Switch Lite 8 PoE to power the four hard wire Cat6 drops we have and another port for my Reolink NVR for my cameras.
Any feedback? Is this a reasonable setup? Am I missing something or not thinking about anything? Critical feedback is welcome!

You don't need 2 - express 7s, just one to run the gateway and then connect an AP or 2 upstairs through your switch. If you want to switch to unifi cameras in the future you might want to look at a UDM PRO SE instead of an express 7 + switch lite 8 + NVR.
