Hello everyone,
we recently moved into our newly built semi-detached house (basement, ground floor, 1st floor, attic). During the planning phase, we intended to have a network socket installed in the center of each floor at ceiling height. However, an outlet on the ceiling was not easily feasible for the electrician due to various reasons, so we had to go with a wall installation.
Currently, I am still undecided between Unifi and TP Link Omada for my entire network. The main question for me now is which access point is the right one. WiFi 6 would be nice, but I don’t currently have any devices that support it, so it’s not strictly necessary.
I have the impression that access points designed for ceiling mounting generally perform “better” than those intended for wall mounting. Therefore, I’m wondering if it might make more sense, for example, to hang a NanoHD on the wall at ceiling height rather than choosing a “lower-quality” access point designed specifically for wall mounting. It also seems like there are significantly more access points available for ceiling mounting. I can hardly imagine that so many people actually have network sockets installed in the ceiling.
I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance for any tips.
Thanks to you all.

Will the performance of a NanoHD decrease significantly compared to central installation?The performance is the same everywhere; only the reception might be slightly worse because it is positioned further at the wall side/corner. However, I see a lot of drywall and therefore open space, which are good conditions for Wi-Fi.

But I see a lot of drywall and therefore land. Good conditions for Wi-Fi.... then a misjudgment. Drywall, due to its metal stud framing, is not better than solid walls.

Good conditions for Wi-Fi.Besides the noted metal framework, gypsum board contains a lot of moisture, which is also not exactly beneficial for Wi-Fi.What actually reaches the client at that point or what it can send back will only be revealed by real-life experience.
