I have a 3300sq/ft single level home, on approximately 2 acres (all flat). Closest neighbor is 500 ft away.
My ISP speed is 385mb/down, 35mb/up from Cox cable.
I currently have two Asus RT-AC68U's (one in router mode, the other in AP-only mode) on opposite sides of my house. While this works, and I do get coverage for the entire 2 acre property, the hand-off is terrible. If I get to the edge of having signal from one of my Asus units, it won't have enough signal to actually transmit/receive data, but it still has enough signal to prevent it from switching to the other (nearest) access point. This is very frustrating as it creates dead-spots in my house. Wireless speed in the house is also lacking - I get 385mb/down via wired connection, but only ~40-50mb/down via wireless.
I'd love to get into a better solution, and I was looking at the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter with two or three of the UAP-AC-PRO access points. Would these do a better "hand-off" between access points than my Asus units? I have approximately 40-50 devices on the network (about 25 wired, 25 wireless). I do have a 16 port PoE gigabit switch.
I've setup Cisco and Ruckus in the past so I'm comfortable with a more technical setup if needed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
