There are several products available in the smb space for around the same price of consumer, but these won't have built-in wifi. There is also the used enterprise market where you can get multi-thousand dollar equipment for just hundreds.With all the negative feedback on consumer grade wifi router performance and manufacturer's support (lack of), are there reasonably affordable business grade routers available?

Yes, AmpliFi is Ubiquti's consumer brand which offer a combined WiFi router. It's line also has great reviews on Amazon, don't understand what you mean it does not have better review than other consumer brands?
Well. I had a brand new Netgear switch that it's power adapter went bad in less one month.On a side note, my 11 year old Netgear has never had a hiccup. That's what I'm trying to upgrade without creating problems and hoping for similar dependability.

Sorry, Small business marketed routers."smb space"?
You're not providing the type of information that would allow for valuable feedback. An example is that you can shoot yourself in the foot within the Ubiquiti line of products if you don't take into consideration the speeds that you are getting from your ISP.
A USG paired with one of their AP's would cripple you if you have Gigabit service. A UniFi Dream Machine however won't.
You're speaking of their AmpliFi line but if you have a small home, you could be grossly overpaying if you went with a product in that line.
You will have better luck hitting 300Mbps on 5ghz. When we had 300Mbps our 2.4 was only 1/2 that 10 feet away from a good router in an overcrowded spectrum. It definitely didn't impress me.Comfortable speed target would be 300 Mbps via wifi on 2.4 channel and higher on 5 channel; the future, who knows what will come to the neighborhood. Security is also of interest.

Even on an Asus router used as an AP here where I have a completely clear airspace 2.4 won't even hit 100Mbps with 700Mbps at my disposal through an enterprise router.
Do you have a way to have something wired in the next room over coax? moca will get full gigabit there and then just add another access point.
Then that's your solution. Then the 5ghz will be closer and should work well.
You need separate APs to couple with pfSense .
As with any good router. Let the router route, and APs do the wifi.You need separate APs to couple with pfSense .
