Hello,
I'm planning a replacement for my 5th Generation Apple AirPort Wireless Extreme. It appears to be overheating after a few years of reliable use.
I don't need routing functionality. I run a Sophos UTM as my Internet router and firewall.
The wireless usage is fairly heavy with consistent usage throughout the day for web browsing, NAS access, video streaming, etc. I have a 125 Mbs Internet connection. I've had good coverage with a single AP located in the center of the house. I don't think I'll need more than one AP for speed and coverage.
With that background, I'm looking for suggestions. At this point, I'm considering 1) building my own Linux-based AP on a mini ITX platform or 2) installing a UniFi AP Pro.
Any suggestions or feedback?
Thanks,
Chris
