Upgrading from Netgear Nighthawk, what do I need?

Hey guys, after messing with firmwares and my Nighthawk never being 100% the same going back to factory and constantly needing reboots, I feel it's time to look for a replacement and am looking for an upgrade as things have changed a great deal for me since I got my Nighthawk years ago but the options seem a bit overwhelming. That said, what do I need to get started and then maybe slowly upgrade from there? I have a 1800 sq ft house with PoE cams, multiple IoT devices, kids with mobile phones, family guests that come and go as well as tenants in a back house I could advertise internet for if possible. What setup would allow me to build out a network for all of these things in an easy and manageable way? Or is Ubiquity not for me?

    Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:
