Hello All,
I'm looking for some recommendations on a new home network setup. Ideally I'm looking for something that offers good performance and a decent mix of advanced functionality combined with a low(ish) price tag. Below is some background on my situation and current setup.
The home is new construction. It's ~ 2500 sqft + another 1800 sqft or so in the basement. And eventually some outdoor area (deck/patio). It has a wired for wireless Access Points in the ceiling of the main floor and loft; but these require the device to be PoE.
Currently I'm running a Velop system with one node on each level. Wireless speeds and signal strength in the garage and perimeter of the home are not great. I recently moved to Xfinity's unlimited data service so I have an xFi wireless modem/router combo thingy that I have in bypass mode (i.e. it's just acting as a modem). I also have a tp-link TL-SG116E "smart" unmanaged switch (it does support PoE).
I'm looking for recommendations on a wireless solution that ideally allows me to take advantage of the WAP mount points, provides adequate coverage, speeds, and reliability.
-Thanks in advance!!!
