[ale] [Semi-OT] Second WiFi in the house?

[James Taylor]

I have three in my abode. I have wired connections to the two at the extremities, and one in the middle that is wifi bridged because no cable there.
The bridged works as well as the the direct wired for most stuff.
If you have a situation where you need to connect a location you can't wire, getting two and bridging the second would probably work well.

Ubiquiti PoE APs are pretty great. Decouples the wifi from the router.

https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-UAP-AC-LR-US-Unifi-AP-AC-Range/dp/B07CLN4BBM - $222 for a 2-pak, but you probably only need 1 AP unless you have multiple "wings" on your estate or it has concrete walls.
