Pros

  • +Uses proprietary protocols
  • +Uses non-standard frequencies (transparent to phones)
  • +Can use smaller channel sizes (5mhz or 10mhz) for robustness

Cons

  • โˆ’Sacrifices bandwidth when using smaller channel sizes
โ€œUse something like Mikrotik or Ubiquitiโ€™s WISP range (not Unifi) with dedicated APs and Station bridges then wire your devices into the station bridges. Then use their respective proprietary protocolsโ€

Pros

  • +Prosumer
  • +Better than most
  • +Can add an access point later
โ€œIโ€™d buy the unifi express for $150. Itโ€™s prosumer and probably better than most. And if you need more WiFi coverage you can add an access point later.โ€
