I got a bunch for my parents who have a pretty large house in western new york - they are just okay.
I'd recommend a Ubiquity Access Point, Ubiquity Security Gateway, and a Ubiquity Cloud Key instead. You could add one of their managed switches too if you need more network ports.
They work great, aren't that tough to set up and have better performance.
- checker 8y agoTechnically you don't even need the cloud key if you're feeling cheap!
- hcurtiss 8y agoAfter installing Ubiquiti products in my workplace and in my wife's parents' house, I put them in the new house we just built. Rock solid tech.
- macNchz 8y agoUbiquiti makes really good stuff–I recently had a great experience setting it up for a 50-person office–but it's not necessarily a replacement for actual mesh wifi since you still need ethernet (and PoE) to hook them up. My parents house is large, old, allergic to wifi and complicated to wire for ethernet...I set up a mesh network for them last year and it has been a revelation after years of terrible wifi.
- kuzimoto 8y agoI'm pretty sure all the unifi APs support a wireless uplink. They also have "mesh APs". But they do still need the PoE injector if you don't have a PoE switch.
- monochromatic 8y agoDo they do mesh wireless?

- furyg3 8y agoUbiquiti makes a consumer version which I've been using in my house for about two years (AmpliFi). It's quite good and what I recommend to non-techie friends.
