Hi all, I am planning the network for the future home, just arrived to the wireless part and need some help.
I will need good coverage for a few devices on 3 floors, presumably from wired, ceiling mounted APs. Each floor area is maybe 80 sqm and there are thin walls between different rooms. I think I can mount each AP so all devices will be in direct sight or behind one wall, within 6-7 meters.
Will one AP per floor suffice? There will be a few devices connected (mobile phones and a couple of laptops), the TV/desktop/console/whatever else will be wired.
I already have a minipc that will run pfsense and a Juniper PoE+ switch.
I was looking at the UniFi AC Lite AP but I found some user complaints regarding the UniFi device management, bugfixing, privacy and whatnot.
On the other hand the APs are better looking than the TP-Link EAP-225v3, and that's a factor I have to consider.
I am not interested in WiFi6 at the moment, 802.11ac will do. The power will be supplied over ethernet.
Thank you
