Do I need open unifi or is a simple router okay for my setup? (self.networking)

I'm moving into a new apt and the ISP is trying to rent a router at $20/mo, so I'd like to get my own router.

I'm considering setting up opnsense for the router & TP link Omega for the AP & Switch.

But this feels a bit overkill for an apt. Should I just get a all in one router instead? What are the pros and cons?

Well said. I run a mikrotik router for my main network and use unifi APs throughout my house. Took a lot of tinkering to set up and I learned a lot. Very flexible but more expensive and much harder to learn than a simple all in one setup.
