Do you need to use Unifi dream machine with their proprietary software to manage your network if you use their WAP( like Accesspoint U6 and Accesspoint U6 Mesh?)

Any router will you recommend? Maybe one that is WiFi 6E (not sure if 6E is needed, maybe WiFi 6 will suffice)

 

Hi y'all im looking for a networking solution to get good wifi connection throughout the single story apartment.

Please bear with me, I am an absolute newbie and maybe sound totally stupid in this.

Our network will be just about 1gbps..

Problem my ONT location is located near my main door and isnt exactly the best place I want to put my wifi router. Our ONT is in a box and located near is a datapoint that runs cables to each of our rooms and living area.

I am wondering if it is possible to do this setup

ONT -> non-wifi router -> datapoint -> 1 x wifi router in my living room and 1x wifi router in my main bedroom.

Does this make any sense?

And can my 2x wifi router be like a mesh network?

I was thinking to use a non-wifi router because Im thinking it'll be cheaper? Or maybe I will just use the one from my ISP for that? Does it make sense?
