    Expected speed with two 2x2 clients on 4x4 access point

    I can get it with one 2x2 client (Samsung s21) in wifi 6 to my 4x4 AP (nwa210ax @80mhz) or 2 clients... If my core switch was 2.5GbE then I'm could get more.

    UniFi Access Point Placement - New Build

    Just be aware that will weaken the propagation into your garage and the yard on that side of the house.

    UniFi Access Point Placement - New Build

    I don't see an issue with this setup at all. Those maps don't account for walls, furniture, materials etc..... You could move that 2nd AP further into the Foyer. Then you can turn down the 2.4 ghz to 15-18dbm. My house has a transition of -55 to -60dBm and it works great. 500mbps is the...

    New Build Home - Home Network Questions

    I was talking about tile, brick fireplaces... steel framing and beams....things like that. 2 APs should be plenty... I have an 1800 sqft ranch with 2 APs.... It covers very well as well. Good luck!

    2 APs are capable but house layout and materials are important. 3 APs at the most.

    Actually those are MSRP pricing.... and you shouldn't insult anyone. The people we sell to have a clue.... there is plenty of competition and our service sells itself.

    New Build Home - Home Network Questions

    Honestly a good Router is 300 to 500, 8 Port POE managed switch 300-600 and APs 400-600..... this is what we sell.... Along with that you'll have a place that can service your needs. so for 1200... its a good deal. These are business class solutions being put into homes.....

    Moving into a Home - Where would you deploy UniFi AP's? (attached blueprints)

    Did you say you have an AP for outside separate from the AC Mesh? Are your wall all sheetrock or are the plaster?

    New Build Home - Home Network Questions

    1. 30" is the standard we install. Typically that's enough for a Wattbox Reboot, Router and POE switch. 2. We usually run one for a wall plate and 2 or 3 to the TV. Yes you can always add a switch. Really your options depend on your usage. 3. This is likely a business class solution. That...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    Any device you need to support fast roaming likely support fast roaming. SMB APs are hands down much better at roaming than any residential setup. 802.11r indeed works.

    Solved ASUS RT-AC86U wifi speed on 5GHZ Fixed - Full speed attainable

    WDS wireless bridge is a different mode than the Smart mesh mode. WDS is strictly a bridge. Smart mesh is wireless mesh.... A bridge and repeater combo.... That's how I understand it. You can easily ask the question in their forum if you want to be sure. I am using the cloud to manage my APs...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    Roaming will depend on many factors... the biggest being how fast you are moving room to room. Even with fast roaming it is possible to get dropped momentarily. I prefer separating 2.4 and 5G. I use 2.4 for only IoT's and any device that only does 2.4. Wifi bounces all over so signal strength...

    Do I have unrealistic expectations of WiFi?

    Do you happened to have and Ethernet going to Bedroom2? I'd put a 3rd one there. If not then add the 3rd AP just inside the Conservatory under Bedroom 2. If you want new APs that can also do Mesh, I'd look at the Zyxel NWA210AX which also supports 802.11r, k, v.

    Solved ASUS RT-AC86U wifi speed on 5GHZ Fixed - Full speed attainable

    AiMesh works but it isn't good IMO. I've tried multiple routers and even a bought Mesh setup from Asus..... The Eero Pro 6 is the only consumer Mesh setup I could recommend now. Otherwise SMB APs are the way to go. I have not used it in this manner but yes it can be setup to work that way.
