I don’t know why it wouldn’t be, as they are great products out of the box.
A bit pricy, but worth it. I’d give the same recommendation as you for anyone wanting to dabble a little and have room to grow and play with VLAN’s, ACL’s and expandability in the future.

I know this isn’t gonna be super popular with the lemmy crowd, but if you’re looking for something really robust, customizable, but also pretty easy to use, Ubiquiti has been great. The cloud gateway max specifically.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.
I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.
I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.
