I would put a single UAP-AC-HD with MU-MIMO or a UAP-AC-HD up against that for coverage and performance any day of the week. That said, a single AP is normally a poor design choice for a larger home.
I'm using between 4-6 APs at my hose at any one time depending on what I'm messing with at the time. Low tx power, and more units normally means superior coverage. UniFi does support 802.11r as well. For router, either a mikrotik or an edgerouter X. - Josh On Jun 20, 2017 9:03 PM, "David Milholen" <[email protected]> wrote: Depends on composition of wood.. Getting on my soap-box with WIFI understanding. I am using my RF goggles for this one. Just good signal(bars) isnt going to tell you how well performance is. Adding more connected devices and other caveats like walls, floors, furniture, people and pets(lol) will degrade wifi access solutions anytime anywhere. There is hope though. With better higher gain antennas and better mimo radios along with a little magical beam steering and 802.11r modes magic performance can occur. I would look at the CN-pilot line like the E400/E500 and R201P units. Currently the R201 and E500 that I mention have Dual band AC access. The E500 is an outdoor wifi access point to cover larger areas outside. We are really liking these products for Wifi access solutions. We once used the same Mikrotik gear even doing some tweaks on the wireless configs still did not out perform the R201P Throw in an E400 to add complete coverage and viola wifi access with superior performance connectivity.

Have customers blame us when there wifi does not reach everywhere in there house. Is placing the router in the basement of a wood frame house going to drastically reduce range? --
