Access Points in 2019.. Whats the best?

Hey Geekzone,

I currently have an edge router lite with Aircube AC.

I'm looking at changing Aircube as found out that the channel frequency due to it not being signed off to NZ standards only gives me 4 channels to choose from.

In my area there is a lot of wifi activity and the congestion all the free channels are up higher in the band that the air cube can't do.

So now I want to replace my wifi.

Options I'm considering is the following:

1. Google Mesh Wifi

2. Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite

3. Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LR Dual-band AC1350

I understand the Google Wifi AC1200 and uses the congested 2.4ghz range and also only has 4 channel options in the 5GHZ range (congested channels) but how does this compare in the real world in 2019? I have heard great things.

Unifi stuff...well good for tinkering but can you select the whole channel spectrum?

I'm open other suggestions but the budget is up to $500 for an AP.
