I have two places that need beefier wifi:
One is a farm house, no signal in the corners of the house, and its quite honestly a bit dodgy everywhere except right next to the study. So get a UniFi Enterprise AP and call it a day right? Will give them coverage outside the home to some extent too so this is probably the best (and I wont be paying
). Setup, forget, hopefully no issues for me to sort out.
Second, 2 houses next to each other. Gap of 2m from the ones garage to the other ones lounge. Do I put a router in the garage and hope the wifi can cover the neighbour, while hard lining everything else on my side? Or get a range extender (are they really that difficult to get going)? Some other solution? And no, I cant run a network cable across or under the wall. An additional note is we'll likely share our media databases too, so whatever solution needs to have reasonable throughput as well.
And yes, I have used google, I have read the other threads. I'm basically wondering if the R1k for the AP is going to be worth it in both cases...
