Use APs which can be placed / upgraded as<br>needed. Using PoE means just running a CAT5e cable to the best location for the<br>AP (center of a house, ceiling?). Ubiquiti makes different APs for whatever you<br>need. The $58 "n" version is more than most people need, since their WAN isn't<br>any faster. They make all sorts of APs. Want a grid? Fine. Also, their Android<br>management app handles the setup nicely. They have a java app too - I've never<br>used it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This x10</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I am using UNIFI ceiling AP.
