We do this currently. There are two MPLS routers with VPLS ports each connected to a switch bank for redundancy. VPLS performance on Mikrotik is lacking though at above 1Gbps range, so I’m reverting most my network back to just plain VRRP between two routers and OSPF ring back to the sources.

I see routers that now do 802.11ad 60GHz radio bands. But I don't think people realize that 60GHz doesn't go through walls, or really anything, for that matter. So I don't see buying a single 802.11ad router as very useful for home deployment. Wouldn't this be better suited to a UBNT type depl

Yes, that sounds about right. Taking a closer look at the properties of 802.11ad, maybe they need to make a “thin” device for each room with Ethernet. Something like an in wall (1Gang) unit that has POE from the central location, a GigE Ethernet port and a thin 6’ flat cable with a small 60GHz
