Hi, I'm planning some updates to my small living space and want to set up a reliable home network. The area is around 90 square meters, and I'm considering Ubiquity because it integrates well with LMG's systems. I have a basic layout with Ethernet ports, access points, and a rack space for gear—I'm still figuring things out. My previous setup was a TP-link router plus one repeater, now I'm aiming for something more robust. Can you help me decide if two APs are sufficient or if it's overkill? Also, since the building is old reinforced concrete, signal strength might be a challenge. I need to install Cat6 cabling from the ground up. Thanks!
I doubt you really need an Ubiquiti setup for a two AP system in a small flat. I appreciate the effort with the Cat6 cabling, though! Consider more affordable mesh options using Ethernet, like TP-Link Deco (which works as an AP). Before investing in Ubiquiti controllers and APs, check out cheaper alternatives first.
Right now I use a Tp-link Archer and a smaller Tplink as a repeater. The Wi-Fi coverage is poor. My home is built with reinforced concrete panels, which don’t support good Wi-Fi. I prefer everything working together in one system—AP, cable LAN, security camera, and doorbell. Plus, when I’m doing a full house rebuild, the cost is minimal compared to other projects I have.
