Home Network Setup

#1
Hello, I saw your videos and it helped a lot to understand more about the subject so thank you very much, I will try to keep it short and concise, So we are moving into a new house which is about 1400 m2 of total land and 400 m2 of actual house on it, I want a very good internet connection throughout the house with no problems, The house has CAT6 wires throughout and 2 ethernet ports per room, however the main internet modem provided by the isp is next to the garage door which is about 7-8 meters away from the house, but there is cat6 cables coming from there into the maintenance room of the house and it can be disturbuted to the rest of the house through there, My idea was to put a strong switch in that room to provide ethernet connection to the whole house then through those put 2 Unifi wifi devices in 2 rooms which are considerably in the middle of the house, one on the first floor and one on the second, I contacted 2 IT companies and they offered me very various switches, The first one was a 700$ Ubiquiti 24 PoE Gigabit Pro Switch along with a Ubiquiti PoE Injector (i dont understand what it does) along with 2 Ubuiqiti U6 Long range routers, the second one offered a 65$ CISCO SWITCH SF110D-16 along with the same 2 Unifi routers with one small mesh to support one far room one the second floor, I wasnt very familiar with any of these devices however i tried learning about them and now I am more informed thanks to your videos, However I still wanted to ask you for advice and support one what I should go for and what the best solution would be, Two companies offering two very different switches got me very confused and I’d like to have your opinion, I want 100 mb+ internet all over the house with the least amount of weakspots possible, Also I want to know the the PoE Injectors are for and wheter I can setup such a system by myself to reduce my costs( I dont have software experience) , Thank you so much for offering such a service and Thank you and I am awaiting your response, Greetings
