House is quite large, so had difficulties with Wi-Fi upstairs.
2-3 years ago I ran a Cat cable from the switch to the attic and put one of these there, configured as an access point:Now looking for a better device: Dual band, 300 (at least, 450 ok too), cheap and reliable. Plug in an forget. Power and network are available nearby.
Only issue I have is that the attic is used for storage only, hence open to the elements (as in ventilation grills, etc), so can get very cold and probably quite humid. I never had a problem with the above (it is a sealed unit).
An suggestion for a replacement? I assume it will come with a power supply and the case will not be sealed which worries me a bit.
TIA.
