Is it better than say an Asus or Netgear router?
Absolutely. But it depends what aspect you're looking at.

The WiFi performance is incredible, but because it's just an IEEE standard, it is very much repeatable by another brand.

However, in terms of UniFi Network, nothing comes close imo. The level of detail you can see into the inner runnings of your network is something I love. I cannot upload all the screenshots solely because there's too many.

The amount of features the Cloud Gateway Ultra offers for being just under £100 is absolutely incredible. The APs do cost quite a lot, but for their performance, I think it's worth it.
I chose the Pro Max units because I knew I was going to mesh. And 4x4 on the 5GHz band Vs 2x2 on the Pro units does help with that.
I can pull the full 900/900 from the mesh unit downstairs which far exceeded my expectations.

I will look into it.

Do you need to run wiring to the APs?
You can mesh, but wiring is better.
I have 2 APs, one wired and one mesh.

If you are going to mesh, whack the bandwidth up to max and keep them closeish together (mine are same side of the house, different floors).

If you are going to use one mesh you'll need a PoE injector to power it as the units only have ethernet ports
 
They are good boxes. I’ve pushed them beyond 1500 Mbps on internet speed tests, so they are extremely capable. Just run a touch on the warm side 😎
