I am refactoring my network setup for various reasons. I have decided to give up on standard routers (Asus, Netgear etc) Reasoning can be found in this thread
As the first part of the setup is clear. It will be a Ubuqity Edgerouter lite i am not sure about the access points i will buy. I will need at least (and probabaly no more at this time) two access points. My initial plan was to buy two Unifi UAP access points from ubuqity. They are cheap and seems cool. Having thought a bit about it though and beside the coolness factor they miss 5.0 ghz and only througput 300 Mbps each. Looking upwards at the Unifi line from ubuqity prices rise dramatically for a UAP-PRO which on paper (and reviews) does not seem like that good a buy. People also mention noise from the Ap's which is not acceptable in any form. Rethinking again i will not need any unified features anyway (one access point will be in my house, and the next at the neighbors) and I have a aging Asus RT-N66U which should be able to function as a access point which can be placed at the neighbor i will need 1 access point in the middle of my house.
I have been looking at the following:
D-Link DAP-2660
Linksys Business LAPAC1200
Does anyone here use these products and can tell me a bit about stability etc. Generally i find that reviews of Access points are somewhat harder to find that reviews on the blazing new routers loading with all sorts of goods. Access points are (or at least that is my idea) Much easier to place in terms of reception as are more pleasing for the eye than things with antennas. I am also looking for valid alternatives in about the same price range as the above access points. Please feel free to chime in with anything on the topic
Best Regards
