Buying 2 MikroTik hAP ac2 for my 2-storey house

Thu Mar 31, 2022 8:15 pm

Hello,

Tomorrow I'm going to buy 2 MikroTik hAP ac2 for my 2-storey house.

Lets call the 1st MikroTik hAP ac2 device hAP (a)
and, 2nd device hAP (b)
Both hAPs will be connected by Ethernet cable

I have 20 mb DSL connection with ISP provided modem or Wifi all-in-one device.

I want to use ISP modem device just for internet, and will disable WiFi on ISP device.

On the TV desk with Apple TV device and Playstation 5 console both on Ethernet with hAP (a) on Ground Floor. On this floor atleast 9 WiFi devices mobile, laptops, iPad etc are active daily.

And I want to use hAP (b) on 2nd Floor as WiFi Access Point with same SSID and password. On this floor 5 devices are active daily mobile, laptop etc.

I want to use hAP (a) as central controller the wifi range should cover Ground + Basement floors.
and want to use hAP (b) as AP linked with PoE, the wifi should cover 1st + 2nd floors.

Also want to attach Security cameras with always on laptop (direct power no-battery) on Home Assistant for house and street surveillance and security alerts. The hAP (b) will connect with Ethernet to laptop with Home Assistant and 4 cameras.

I will order 4 Wyze security camera 2 Wyze Cam v3, and 2 Wyze Pan v2. Will these Wyze Cameras work with Home Assistant and MikroTik hAP ac2?


Will this setting work?

Or should I get 1 hAP ac2, and 1 cAP ac.
Does cAP has better WiFi signal range than hAP ac2?
Or is there any other high quality and affordable AP I should get?
Both seemed same on spec sheets.

I just want to setup it once and then forget it.
