Hi everyone!
I have a 3 story house that is NOT wired with ethernet, but is thankfully wired for coax. Currently, I am renting a router/modem from Comcast, which is overpriced and doesn't hit all floors.
What would perform better?
3x Access Points (TP-Link EAP-225) + 3x MoCAs + Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X
3x Orbi RBK50 + 3x MoCAs
Would the AP's require a computer be running 24/7 with the EAP controller software? If I don't do that, does it make them worse than mesh?
It's probably worth mentioning, but my end goal (beside having great wireless throughout my house), is to be able to locally stream my downstairs video game consoles (Xbox One X and PS4 Pro), all the way to my midfloor and upstairs TVs (through laptops probably unless someone has a better idea) so that I can play them either in my living room or bedroom without having to relocate them. The Orbi's have extra ethernet ports on them, so I wouldn't need a switch for those, but the AP's do not, so I'd probably need a switch for those.
Cheers
