In a pinch I use the Linksys E2500 or EA2700 dual band wireless access points. Set a static IP, disable the DCHP server and connect the cable to the LAN ports. That's handy for connecting the Xbox in the living room. I mounted it behind the TV using one of the VESA mount screw holes for hanging it off, and route the wires through the base of the TV. Excellent wireless signal in the room. You get a 3 free switch ports on location as well for just ~40 euros. > The TP-Link TL-WA801nd is a BGN-only device. Do you (or anyone) have a > preferred stand-alone AC access point? If anyone is going to deploy anything new then BGN is not a valid solution anymore. I see way too many issues with channel overlap in 2.4Ghz. Especially in densely populated areas. The record so far is 38 SSIDs from a table at a cafe in Barcelona, Spain. Then there was the genius that installed all APs on the same channel, don't do that :( At work we use the Ubiquiti Unifi-Pro access points, about 20 of them. One of them is a repeater with a wireless backhaul (over 5Ghz). We have a Debian VM for the controller which is handy as well. All wireless traffic is put on a seperate VLAN, and that works well as intended, pfSense routes it out to the internet. I've also not found any issues so far with the IPv6 support on any of the devices attached to the wireless, it works. The roaming is also quite good, I have no dropping 3CX soft phone calls whilst roaming through the building.
