    I finished the day by capitulating and installing an extra access point upstairs.

    The deck separating the two storeys of our flat is 25 cm of reinforced concrete and I just couldn't find a stairwell position that managed to cover everything in a reasonable way.

    One @mikrotik wAP ax on each storey has me maxing out our outbound line from anywhere in the flat (yes, I know they're outdoor APs but the antenna radiation pattern and the ridiculously good value for money works for me).

    Added bonus: I can now do a rolling firmware update and degrade performance rather than disconnect clients outright. This has already proven popular with the rest of the household.

    @taf

    I don't think I've heard about mikrotik before, that sounds like very nice hardware?

    I've heard a lot about Ubiquity but, being a Latvian company it sounds like I should look towards mikrotik instead, if I ever get around to actually doing something to improve my home network.
