I recently purchased my first home and am planning to run Cat6 throughout. At the same time I'll be setting up my wifi access points at strategic locations to get full coverage over my house and back yard. The house is not enormous at 2400 sq ft, but I don't want to compromise with weak signal in some areas. So based on testing with my current Linksys WRT-600N, I'm fairly certain using 1 standard wireless router will not cut it.
My main concern is with wifi roaming between multiple access points. I've had issues with this before where "sticky clients" would remain connected to a weaker access point. Both my wife and I do a fair amount of video chatting and I've seen plenty of problems with dropping a video chat while trying to transition from one WAP to another. I've seen the Unifi WAPs that have seamless roaming, but unfortunately their 802.11ac products are quite expensive.
So my primary dilemma is do I go with Unifi 802.11n WAPs or consumer 802.11ac routers as WAPs? Or is there another solution that I don't know about?
Thanks for the help in advance!
