From the square foot thing, I assume you're in America?

That's fine. I assume the router patches into a switch box, and the switch box patches into your room?

Well yes. It's a wireless technology. Latency will fluctuate depending on factors like whether it's cloudy outside.

Since you've got a ubiquiti wap, maybe the UDR or UDM? Inbuilt wifi, which is the same as one wap, then just use the existing one you have?

I'm planning to get a UDR, but they're going to announce a UDR upgrade soon - I'm waiting to see what it's like (and even if I don't want it, see how many second hand UDRs are being sold by people who love having the latest stuff)

I use a lot of google stuff, and this seems like a pretty good deal?

This was the mistake I made. Being in the Google ecosystem, and assumed staying 'in house' would work well, instead of a) reading reviews of the actual specific product and b) working out exactly what I wanted to achieve in my home network, and buying equipment to match those goals.

Also, the Google APs (the pucks) often stop working after a few days and require a hard reset. Google is aware of this but refuses to fix it. Network hardware should be rock solid once you set it up right.

And what speed when you wire directly into the modem (bypassing the router)?
