the setup I am currently running, and really happy with. Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite - Edge device, dhcp and the like 24 port switch (Under utilized but its what i had) running the "core" of everything Netgear Nighthawk Wifi/Router in WiFi AP Mode 8 port switch connected via ethernet in the living room 4 port switch connected via ethernet in the dining room Old Wireless N router connected via ethernet in the bedroom (Tomato running wifi AP mode) I tried using the Nighthawk as an edge device and wifi, but with the Gigabit network and some of the nat routing i do it was failing pretty hard so i put back the ubiquity device and let the nighthawk run just wifi. The nighthawk is a good wifi device, stable and Costco has it on sale for 169 right now. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R7900.aspx The edgerouter lite is a 90-100 dollar device, and worth every penny.
