Ubiquiti gear is very solid for the price. Start with their dream machine (check eBay for used, just saw one for $150, otherwise $300 new), and then add nano access points as needed. Enterprise gear for a fraction of the price.
Isn't Ubiquiti back to being a "have to make a cloud account to control all your local devices" company?
They're either or. Their configuration device is called a cloud key, but it runs locally on your network. You can choose to enable cloud management, though everything can be administered locally, nor do they punish you for it.
You can also run the Network Controller on any PC or even Home Assistant if you dont need to do any advanced traffic routing features.
The only disadvantage is that updates cannot be automatically applied while the network controller is off, the APs however do work fine without it, as long as they are configured once.
