ᐅ Wi-Fi Access Points – Which Ones to Choose?

Good morning everyone,

I completely forgot to plan for Wi-Fi access points, which is a bit annoying now. I need to retrofit something and am looking for the right access point to meet my needs.

I’ve read a lot about Ubiquiti access points, which would actually be quite good for my requirements since they support PoE (Power over Ethernet). However, what I don’t like is that I want to set up a nightly shutdown that I can also disable easily via an app when needed. Unfortunately, I can’t find this feature on Ubiquiti devices.

As alternatives, there are various Fritz!Box access points or the TP-Link Deco M4.

How have you solved this?

Best regards
H

OK, the AC Pro has really become quite expensive... You can currently get the Nano HD from the big retailer for 162.90 including the PoE injector.

Either in-wall HD or Nano HD.
Depends on installation and preference.

The standard in-wall will have the same problem as the Lite, right? If any, then the HD version?

Yes, exactly. Then go with the HD.

Where do you have your network outlets? In the ceiling or the wall?

Wall, unfortunately, there is nothing in the ceiling.
