I want to buy a proper wireless AP, because well... the one I got from my ISP is shit as shit. Basically, I want to turn off WiFi on my router, connect the WAP to it with an Ethernet cable and just be done with it.
My flat is 50m2, it's almost a rectangle. The problem is, the socket where the router is connected is in the corner of the bedroom, on the opposite side of the flat. And since there's quite a few flats like mine in the building (20?), there's a lot of WAPs fighting to get their signal across.
I'd like a WAP that can work in dual mode (2.4/5 GHz) reliably. Additional cool features would be guest portal and VPN, but that's not something that I need that much. It would be nice, but that's all.
I've looked around and I guess AC1900 will be enough for me. AC2400 are quite expensive (starting at around $250 here in Poland), plus I probably wouldn't really feel the speed advantage.
My budget is up to $180-200. I was leaning towards D-Link DIR 800. It's a bit under my budget, which is good, it has VPN built-in, guest portal, can work in dual-band mode (I believe it can even offer 4 SSIDs: 2 bands for guest portal and 2 bands for the network).
But then I saw the Ubiquiti Unifis. From what I read, the Lite one could be enough for me -- and if it isn't! Hey, buying another one would put me in the same price range as the D-Link.
What do you think?
