New Around Here
Hello all,
I have a big old house with thick walls and thus need three WLAN access points to cover the whole house. So far I am using Devolo dlan 1200+ WiFi ac adapters and I am unhappy with the roaming experience. Endpoints sometimes need a minute to connect to the new AP when walking around the house. I know it's a problem with the endpoints, not my devolo wifi devices, but I still would like to improve this.
The only way to do this in my opinion is to have a WLAN controller – which is unfortunately quite expensive. I am currently trying to figure out if by any chance I could avoid laying cables across the whole house, which would be even more expensive (can't hide them, I would have to open the walls...).
Thus I am looking for the following setup: one WLAN controller connected to three APs over powerline. What is the best way to do this? I prefer to invest more and have a good result, rather that being cheap but not seeing any real improvement. Also important to me: future upgradability of the setup. I have multiple old tablets, smartphones, a wireless printer, etc., but I do not require the highest possible bandwidth.
Cheers
