This is good advice for a "one device does it all" setup.

My personal setup is actually running the hap AC lites as access points, via CAPsMAN. I do routing on a hex Gr3. The hap ac lites are great value for a dual-radio 2.4/5ghz ap.

I also have an all-mikrotik passive poe setup, so it's one lead to the ac lites. Similar featureset to ubnt, cisco, others, at a fraction of the price.
