Hi again everyone,
I have posted a few times on this part of the forum recently as I am about to make the move to City Fibre (IDNet) with a 1200 Mbps connection.
Having considered a few routers from the likes of Asus, Netgear and TP-Link, I am now looking at a Ubiquiti solution.
The Cloud Gateway Max looks good as this has both 2.5G WAN and LAN ports, my PC is in the same room and will be connected to it by Ethernet. Then I would like to hook up a Wi-Fi access point in the same room and I hope this will be strong enough to provide a workable Wi-Fi signal to the rest of the house. It's a four bedroom house and I would like a minimum of 200 Mbps if possible upstairs for web browsing / video streaming etc.
Does this sounds like a better solution than the routers above? Where I would like some advice is in the Wi-Fi arena. Should I go for a mesh capable access point just in case it's needed? I don't really want to wire stuff up around the house. However, I was thinking of getting a wall mounted access point and mounting it up high in the same room as the gateway. I'm guessing a switch with PoE out will also be needed?
Any advice would be appreciated, as I've said in earlier posts, I am not a networking expert (although I do know some stuff) happy to learn more though and I don't mind tweaking etc.
Thanks.
