Besides standard powerline adapters, MoCa adapters are also available at http://a.co/b08sfku. If your home already has coaxial cable installed, it simplifies the setup.

I would consider a similar AP like the AP 5 pack, which requires POE injectors. (I haven’t used the injectors myself, just a random one I found on Amazon). Some Ubiquiti APs come with injectors, others don’t, and this model doesn’t have them. If you’re comfortable setting up a Cat5e or better setup, that seems like the optimal choice. If you prefer not to go through all that, I’d try the Amplifi HD and see what works. I really trust it—it’s proven to fix networks in every home I’ve installed (three so far). However, it looks like you might have a Faraday cage in place, which could affect performance. Lastly, you could test one AP at a time and buy more if needed.

Note: I’m warning you that this setup would likely require separate Wi-Fi networks for each AP. The Ubiquiti models are designed for enterprise use, so mesh functionality might be limited. I’d be curious to explore this further.

Edit: Just remember to plan for distinct networks per AP. Since I haven’t watched the full video, I’m not sure about all the details.
