Hi,
A similar question was recently posted, but the judgement was not clear for me. Really just looking for a fast and clear answer:
In general, is the wireless performance of (consumer grade) Wireless Access Points on par with an average AC1900 router, not considering price?
And if you wouldnt mind, here is my situation: I have a 3 story house. Due to the design and construction of the house, I certainly need 1 wireless access point (or router) on each floor. My budget is $600. House is wired for ethernet. I will put 1 x $200 AC1900 router on floor 3, and all the ethernet runs to that.
All things aside (features, etc) except wifi performance, for floors 1 and floor 2,should I buy 2 x $200 APs or 2 x $200 AC1900 routers?
If the answer is AP, any recommendations on models?
My skill level is intermediate, but I am putting this together for a large family with little to no networking skill. Many wireless devices. Traffic will be light/moderate video streaming, light audio streaming, and day to day surfing.
Thank you so much and happy new year!
