This question probably gets asked once every hour in here, so sorry about adding to that.

I recently moved to a new place (old house though), and instead of just taking all my existing network equipment and setting it up again, now is a good opportunity to see whats best these days.

My earlier setup consisted of a Synology RT2600AC, which had wired another RT2600AC and a MR2200AC to it. So no mesh. They each ran with their own SSID, as that would let me better control what was connected to what. I liked the Synology interface, probably because i also have a NAS from them, but I'm very open to other stuff.

The new place consists of two buildings which are seperated by around 35 feet. There is no networking in the other building only mains, and I'm considering the options for how to get network over there. Could i use the powerline to also contain Ehternet stable enough? I now its possible but have no experience with it. I want to install a few ip cameras in the other building as well as the main building, but i want it to be stable

Ubiquity was the hot topic last i looked, but is it still the go to? Any other recommendations?
