I work in IT and have a good working knowledge of networking. Gigabit internet is scheduled for installation at the house in under a month so I've been working on upgrading the home network in preparation. Ethernet has been run so now the last thing was to install an access point fast enough to avoid bottlenecking the new connection and allow for fast local file transfers. I setup a PfSense box with multi gig NICs (including one with POE+ output) and was off to the races. Configuration was a breeze and once I got the thing setup with a static IP and pointed it to the gateway, everything was smooth sailing. After upgrading my desktop and laptop with Wifi 6, I was able to hit the advertised link speeds no problem. Even the Intel AX200 (2x2) WLAN card in the laptop was pulling a 1.25Gbit link. faster than the internet connection which is really all I needed. Downloads and speed tests run just about identically to ethernet, so no bottlenecks so far. I look forward to testing this with a 4K60 video stream and a large local file transfer going simultaneously to see how it does. I'll be sure to update if I get some sort of horrendous drop in local transfer speed or latency spikes. Range is also pretty good at 5Ghz as I have the access point centrally mounted in the (small-ish) house and can get full bars of signal in all but one room (which has a lot of cabinetry and other physical barriers between it and the AP) and even then, I'm still at 50% signal strength in there. Overall, zero complaints after a couple of weeks of usage.Update after 1 year: Everything is working perfectly! I'm happy with this unit.
