Disappointing; I just wired my home with Ubiquiti equipment, and now it looks like I may have to tear it all out.

Has anyone recently set up a custom home router, switch, and/or WiFi AP? Any tutorials or examples you could recommend?

MikroTik - learn it any you will not regret it. Buy hAP AC2 devices - powerful yet cheap, lifelong free OS upgrades, they offer much more than UBNT devices.

I've been on a receiving end of troubleshooting MikroTik-centric bugs and they really make you to go Hmmm. Not because they are bad, but because they are of a kind that you'd see in the code hacked together over a weekend while chugging down some beers. An amateur job basically with a glaring lack on quality control.

I wouldn't touch MikroTiks with a long pole.

you could also look into (older) enterprise equipment.

Aruba AP's can be had quite cheaply, and they have an integrated controller aswell.
