Hi, I was wondering if, for a new, beefy wifi system, I should go industrial with an ubiquity ac hd access point, or go consumer with an asus ac5300. The ac5300 would have to be in a worse place in the house, though. Thank you!

Hi,

 

depends on how much you are comfortable spending and how long range / powerful wifi solution you need. If you have a lot of devices you will be connecting to via Wifi, or some sort of balling internet connection, and the money to drop on a (I think) 300$ access point than why not.

Pretty big house, and sturdy walls which have made wifi an issue in the past. We live in a condo, which has a lot of 2.5ghz activity.
