Do you have CAT6 to WiFi APs in every room? Can you share experience with moving WiFi devices?
No, my apartment is covered by a single 5GHz AP in the center of the apartment.
I mainly use cabled connections for media players and similar devices since they work much better over full duplex gige than over wifi. If I just could go back to my 1ms RTT Internet access link, things would be a lot better because my current DOCSIS3 cable connection is a lot worse (for instance when it comes to RTT and PDV) than my previous connection I had at the previous apartment which was a lot more consistent.
I tend to use a CAT6 ethernet adapter in my laptop when I'm at my desk, even though both my AP and laptop has 802.11ac. Wifi is mostly used to handle mobile devices such as tablets and mobile phones.
My experience is that even with state of the art equipment, wifi still is not even close in quality of experience compared to cable, apart from very light use where it's still sufficient.
My experience with multiple APs (from other places) is that clients don't switch APs easily enough so they're seldom connected to the optimal AP.
