Hi!
newbie here. Recommended by the Aruba staff to consult all of you for advice.
I am seeking your advice on :
a) Which AP should I choose for my conditions and needs (as below), and
b) Should I await the release of a 4x4 AP?
Conditions;
1) 2800 sqft (260m2) house, (approximately 50x30 feet), 2,5 floors, armoured lightweight concrete outer walls (lower floor) & between floors.
2) incoming fiber - center of one of the shorter walls (eg not centered but one side of house).
3) Fiber 250/250, 1.3ms lag.
4) Some 40 wireless devices majority is AX/AC but still some 802.11n. Increasing amount of 2.4band IoT.
Needs;
a) Stability
b) Well functioning quick hand off of wireless devices between APs (without VPN disconnects)
c) QoS capable as 4K-stream video is going to be parallel to work related video conferencing (over vpn) and gaming (that's life w kids).
d) must support multiple SSIDs & VLANs as IoT, guest networks etc shall be separated
e) must be supported by vendor post sales with focus on resolving issues w functionality as well as security.
Mesh/PoE
Would also be great to have your view on which AP is better for mesh even if the intent is to run cat6 w PoE.
Thank you very much in advance.
