I’d say Ubiquiti is still the best pro-sumer for home networking. They’re expensive, but they really do have a quality and ease of integration/setup/use that just isn’t matched, even when you get to enterprise level (go setup a Cisco without your CCNA and then come tell me about how great it is).
I have to agree with this to a point. I went with Mikrotik a while ago, which delivers great bang for the buck but oh my god the UX is terrible. Not helped that I don't want to spend more time learning it fully (it would be more cost effective to trash it and buy something else).
TP-Link and omeda is probably an alternative, but after spending time trying to figure out what they offer and what their alternatives are for my needs I just give up with their confusing model numbers and half hearted explainations.
The problem I really have with Ubiquiti is when I look at their offerings and what I need I am immediately put into their Enterprise offerings and I am running 48 ports.

The main reason why consumer wireless APs fail is inadequate power supplies. Ubiquiti gear is solid in this respect.
