I’m wondering if you guys can recommend which access points to get for a typical two storey suburban home?
Huge price variance and I don’t want to be overspending if I don’t need to. But also don’t want to buy junk. |
Like it really depends on a number of factors specific to your house. How many sq ft is your house, how many smart home devices, and are these devices compatible with 2.4Ghz only or can they also do 5Ghz.
If you have a lot of legacy 2.4Ghz devices, or have lots of devices at longer range from your APs i.e. cameras on an external garage where you don't intend to put an AP, then I would go with something like the U6 LR. The U6LRs are going to give you a more stable connection in most cases.
If you are more concerned about speed and don't have a lot of spots where you are planning on putting APs or devices won't be too far from the AP, then just the U6 Pro will do.
If you are going to be relatively close to your APs, and you aren't looking for super high speeds something like the U6 Lite will be just fine for you.
I have security cameras in my detached garage where a Lite wouldn't cut it but my house is more than completely covered by a couple of U6 LRs.
