I need more than one access point for sure. My house is made of brick and even the internal walls are extremely thick. So signals have real trouble penetrating the walls. That is why i intend to do 1 ap/room.

Without knowing your floorplan, I can't really provide any additional insight.

I would just add that I'm guessing your doors aren't brick, so a ceiling mounted AP in a hallway, or another central location, would likely be able to provide good coverage through any doors within range.

Regardless, running quality cable conduit, and doing it properly, is the single best and most impactful thing you can do.

Good luck.

I am about 30FT from the router through 2 brick walls ~10 inches thick. 5GHz is to weak to be used at that range and will disconnect. I have to use 2.4 to stay connected.
