My aging RT-N66U looks like it isn't up to the task anymore. Actually, it does just fine for everything but the downstairs AV setup. There are just too many APs in the neighborhood and too many walls. It can't keep a strong enough signal. It was upstairs with the rest of the computer gear and moving it downstairs made things much better, but now the upstairs has low coverage.
Looking at getting a pair of Ubiquiti UniFi nanoHD access points. One for upstairs, one for downstairs. I have a Raspberry Pi that serves as the network DNS server and I figure I'll run the UniFi network controller software there. I haven't pulled the trigger yet as I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to run cable to the downstairs unit. The plan is to run them off of PoE.
I know there aren't a whole lot of gerbils around these days, but for those that are and use Ubiquiti gear, anything I should be aware of? Gotchas or hints?
