    I'm also in the process of doing this. Am I right to think that I can just run some cat5e/ cat6 cable to a ubiquity access point somewhere in my house and plug it into my cable modem/wifi router and it will work seamlessly? Can I add additional APs for dead areas and smooth hand-off throughout the house? do I need to disable the wifi on my router?

    This is the one I'm looking at:

    Any advice would be helpful!

    • Wired access points negate the need for "mesh" setups and generally perform a lot better. Get one good wired AP centrally located and that might cover your needevilpeacock
    • The Unifi routers are really good. I use four "HD" versions of the one you linked at work, each wired to a switch (no mesh).evilpeacock
