U6-Mesh

plaster and lathe is brutal for wifi - those walls kill 5ghz fast. the u6 pro is fine but you might want the u6 long range instead since it has better penetration through dense materials. also consider mixing in a couple u6 mesh units for hallways. three to four aps sounds right but spread them out

If you can get Ethernet to other parts of your home I have had great luck with U6 long range and a U6 Mesh Pro for the outside coverage.

Consider that your closed cupboard are part of the issue - wifi doesn't go through things well. But... You don't need mesh if you can use ethernet. So yeah, Ubiquiti UniFi.

airwire issues are usually interference or distance. check your channel width and make sure you're not on a crowded channel first. if the signal is just weak at that location, the U6 Mesh or a U7 outdoor would extend it better than another airwire link. i had similar drops and switching to mesh with

i feel you on the Teams call struggle. replace the broken one with a U6 Pro - you'll see better range and speed vs the old AC Lite. for the garden office without ethernet, grab a U6 Mesh and place it in a window or exterior wall closest to the office. it's weather-rated and designed for mesh uplink.

i've done this exact setup. for point to multipoint, grab a Ubiquiti Nanostation 5AC Loco on home 1 and matching ones on home 2 and office. they dont broadcast ssid directly - so add U6 Mesh APs outside each building for wifi coverage. the nanostations handle backhaul only. for the barns and outside

done similar setups in old buildings with thick walls. the U6 Pro is your friend here - its ceiling mount gives better downward pattern for floors below. the u6 mesh is more for vertical mounting on walls or poles. your fiber gateway has poe ports thatll power both no problem. lath and plaster eats
