Hi everyone,
Been considering purchasing Peplink products for my home network. This is purely for home use… average 18-24 devices connected. (Apple products mostly, a couple of google devices and other IoTs).
Currently using an Asus RT-AC87u flashed with Merlin… I live in a 2 story townhome with a finished basement (so 3 floors). Total about 1867 sq ft. We’re 5 people in the home and most stream music and video. I also have VOIP.
My current router is on main level centrally located near the ceiling, and i can get solid WIFI throughout. It starts to drop off outside in yard.
My ISP rated speeds are 500 up and 20 down…
I used to run Sophos XG firewall on an old PC but found it difficult to maintain at times and problematic with streaming video on certain devices.
I was looking at a Balance One core with possibly 1 AP Lite. AP lite would go where my current router is located.
What I’m unsure of is the WIFI range of 1 AP and whether it’d be enough to cover my entire home (2nd floor and basement)
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
