Hey all, so I have been running a Unifi A/P for a few years now, been generally happy with it, but have become more so with some recent placement changes and the addition of a second A/P giving fast WiFi all around the house (and garden, driveway, neighbors house, etc.)Apart from tweaks like transmit power (which require some more understand on my part) I am now deciding what to upgrade next. Current network is:Gigagbit UFBUntangle router (custom PC, quad core AMD, 8GB RAM, dual Intel GB Nic's)3COM Managed GB switchI also have the 2 Unifi A/P's and 3 Dahua cameras, various wired and wireless devices.So, options are:1) Get a Unifi Gateway (pro?) and move the Untangle to be in Bridge mode (so it still does ad-blocking, email scanning, etc. i.e. lots of things the Unifi doesn't)2) Get a Unifi switch and fix all the powerbricks I have on the 5 potential PoE devicesAny options as to what to go for first? I am leaning towards a switch (the US-16-150W) as it will solve a problem (power bricks and Poe Injectors). Then get the gateway to 'complete' the network and get that nice 'single pane of glass' view.Any opinions on the switch? Is it noisy? This is a home environment. Anything I should be aware of integrating the switch? PoE issues or settings? FYI my controller is currently local (running on a Mac, something else I need to change, but later).
