Ubiquity and Telekom Magenta TV

Me again, this time with a somewhat more specific question. Currently, we are using a Fritzbox in conjunction with manually laid CAT cables in channels, a Fritz Access Point, and a Netgear/Tp-link switch with IGMP v3, along with Telekom Magenta TV. In the new house, we want to continue using Magenta. Now we would like to build the network there based on Ubiquity. However, I stumbled upon the fact that Ubiquity and IGMP v3 are not exactly best friends. Apparently, a lot of manual work and tinkering (I realize that Ubiquity is manual work, that's why you get it) without any guarantee that it will work, because from what I have read, multicast is not the strength of Ubiquity routers/switches. Does anyone happen to have this combo in use and can say something about it?

Works and there are some instructions. Vigor as modem, usg, switch, APs from Unifi... It's not particularly demanding. If you configure unifi correctly, you have a great network with many possibilities. What exactly do you have and where are you planning?

Nothing is exactly planned yet. The idea is to install at least a small POE switch for a handful of Nanos, a normal switch for the rest, modem, router. Here's the point for the beginning. I have already read through most of the guides. They all basically follow the same pattern. Still, there are many where it doesn't work. Are they just not able to do it or is it perhaps still a bit tricky? What I especially find annoying is that apparently you have to intervene manually after every router restart. That's rubbish. As I said, though, I have only skimmed through everything during today. I also didn't find any posts newer than about three quarters of a year. Maybe something has changed.

It also works via script after reboot. There is also a step-by-step guide for this. Depending on how many APs you will have (usually one per floor and possibly one outside), the injectors are sufficient. In addition, a Unify switch. If you have more POE devices, take a larger Unifi switch with POE. Multiple switches mean more configuration effort and higher power consumption. Nano HD are a very good choice. To be able to use all the possibilities and advantages, you should also use the router from Unifi (USG), Cloudkey or permanently running Controller as well as switch from Unifi.

Exactly that is the plan. I have also read the solution with the script. Nevertheless, I find that suboptimal. Possibly I have to accept that as well. Regarding the Cloudkey. If I am correctly informed, I do not have to use the hardware key but can also use a software variant. I use a Windows Server 2016 in the home network for AD, file server, etc. If the server is running 24/7 anyway, do I have a significant advantage by burning through [cloudkey]?

With the new software and firmware, it is supposed to have become better/easier. But I am not deeply involved in this case because I don't have DSL or even Magenta. I only dealt with it when a friend was considering switching. In the end, he had so much older hardware that we set up his network like that. However, he is not very tech-savvy either.

You can also install the controller on the server. You just have to see which VLAN it should be in then. A separate management LAN makes sense. Either you have enough interfaces or you have to work with virtual ports. With the Cloudkey, there is less fiddling, and you are independent of the server. You can start with the server solution and if you don't like it, simply change it. Just make a backup in the controller, connect the Cloudkey, select restore from backup, and everything is running again in 10 minutes...
