I'm full Ubiquiti on all my clients so whatever I go with needs to stay that way.
The build out is 2 desks/workstations, 2 POE Phones, and 1 shared MFC printer. There is no rack, there is a cabinet where finished Cat6 cables dangle next to the modem.
I'm thinking either this setup for the built in AP but no IPS/IDS
Or this setup with a separate AP and a gateway that features IPS/IDS:
There will be no growth at this office so this would be the complete setup ... just curious what others thoughts are on this. I would usually throw a UDMSE into a rack but this setup is so small I feel like it just doesn't need it. I do like the compactness of having the AP built into the Gateway but I have not tested either device in the field.
The office is about 500 sq/f.
