Ive been looking into changing my ISP provided CPE to something a bit better and could be good for a power user who wants to learn more about networking like me and was wondering if two of the hAP ax S’s would be suitable for this. The configuration I would be using would be either one in the living…

Yes, it will work, but the solution itself is overly expensive, and you'll likely get worse Wi-Fi quality (if you use it) than with similar, simple access points. i.e., 1) the device itself is expensive. 2) If we take the AX2 for comparison, with two such access points in two houses, I have a numb…

And…what? You were under the impression that they used only one material back then? This answers none of @BartoszP 's concern.

The only thing I know is there's drywall and mostly only two prong outlets. And they're pretty thick.

I don't know what criteria @Nikalia is using to class a $79 AP as "expensive," but that's not why I'd avoid your proposed configuration. It is that "wireless AP" sucks. Either run a wire between them or do without the second AP, is my philosophy. I'd rather reach clear across the house to a single g…

I can't run wires due to it being a rental house.

Then start with one big torch, and branch out only on proof of necessity. The Chateau Pro ax is a 4-chain device, thus stronger than this new 3-chain AP you're looking at, but up to a limit, it should be perfectly fine, presuming you don't have something like concrete and rebar walls somewhere in t…

[image] RealMrCactus: could be good for a power user who wants to learn more about networking like me Well, if goal is learn about networking. The first step is a "site survey" before getting to buying hardware. So I'd start with some homework. Since you're concern about Wi-Fi, I'd start…

And, I believe, the US FCC Part 15 docs have them.
