Ok so I'm very new to the Unifi AP system and how it works but from what I can tell amongst various websites this is the way to go for a network upgrade.
I'm running a basic SH3 on 200/20 line and the WiFi is woeful upstairs I have many dropouts and connection issues over the past year and VM tell me my hub is performing 'fine' but as you are all probably aware the Superhub3 is a pile of turd.
So I have heavy device usage on my home network around 12 -15 devices and since I rely heavily on streaming as my source of TV content throughout the house as well as an avid gamer the time has come for a upgrade.
3 Smart TV's (1 ethernet, 2 x 2.4Ghz)
4 Smart phones (5Ghz)
2 Now TV boxes (5Ghz)
2 Xbox's (1 ethernet & 1 on 2.4Ghz)
1 4k Firestick ( Ethernet)
1 tablet (2.4Ghz)
1 Alexa (unplugged at min)
1 Ring Doorbell 2 (2.4Ghz)
Virgin media tell me my usage is VERY high and often they to get me to upgrade to a high package but first before I do anything like that I want to sort out my network.
I plan to run an ethernet cable outside and then back in side upstairs using existing holes from an old installation but the AP won't be on the ceiling more likely wall mounted high up.
I live in a standard 3 bed semi detached home interior walls are mainly plasterboard so signal level isn't bad downstairs despite poorly place Superhub3.
Just want to know where to go budget isn't a huge issue as it will be a slow upgrade process just wanted advice as to what to get AP -LR/AP-Pro, how many to buy, what router to get etc
The plan is to extend the wireless so its not weak across my home and speeds don't drop/wireless cut out and to generally improve my network to a point where it's set should I upgrade the speeds.
Sorry for the essay just wanted to be clear, thanks.
