Hi all,
I’m moving to a new home and the house is currently under major renovation. I’m planning to have cat6 cables throughout the house and install multiple APs to get good wifi coverage. I already have a Unifi POE switch so will be getting a few Unifi wifi6 APs & the UDM-Pro.
The house is a 3 storey with 6 bedrooms. My worry is all the walls are solid 6” brick (no drywall or plasterboard) & concrete between floors and I have no idea how bad wifi signal will spread through solid walls.
The problem is soon I need to decide where to lay the cat6 cables for the AP positions.
I’m looking to get good wifi 5Ghz coverage in all rooms 1-6 as well as main busy areas (living & kitchen) and to have seamless roaming.
I’m looking for suggestions for best placement for the APs. I’ve sketched some positions (A-E) but using Unifi planner it shows some black spots in the rooms for 5Ghz spread (especially for Room 2)
Also the distance between C & D is about 15 feet, would that give problem with interference?
I don’t mind putting an AP for each room of that is necessary.
I know this is going to be best guess but I’m trying to avoid having to retrofit the cables for the APs after the renovation is completed.
Many thanks
