      @JaredBusch that Ubiquiti ER X only has 1 POE out port on it, is that correct.

      The only reason I ask was I was considering adding 2 AP's to the house.

      Get POE switch. ToughSwitch or Pro for example.

        Anyone have any experience with these?! https://store.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-in-wall.html

        Pretty awesome concept, I'm curious how they stack up to traditional APs.

        Wow those are actually a really cool concept. Limited range but you could plaster your whole house, every room with one.

        Super unobtrusive.

        I think they are aiming those for the hospitality space.

        That or they're trying to take down the global blue nightlight monopoly

          I was actually considering wiring up the house with the in-wall units.

            The reason I was considering these in-wall units was because of the fact that I'd have to run wiring anyways for the new AP's.

            Might as well get something that is discrete, as well as functional (Ethernet to hard wire in)

              I was thinking Medical could benefit from this too. Higher AP density without them in the ceiling. Although I know how some facilities are wired and doubt I would trust it.

                The big problem that I see with those in-the-wall units is that they are slow. 150Mb/s... half as slow as the AC Lite units which are only 30$ more.

                  Exceptionally few people would ever have a real issue with that.

                  Those exceptionally few people have home servers and SSD's heh.

                    True and they are only 10/100...

                      I wonder what kind of client density these would be looking at?

                        I'm running at 150Mb/s now... I could use a bit more speed. Granted I am one of those people.

                          So I'm considering wiring up my house with ethernet and ditching my single wireless unit for a more robust solution. Looking at Ubiquiti they have some really nice offerings but I'm hesitant to drop the money on it for the purposes of "home use" without great cause.

                          So I'm looking for recommendations on specific products and configurations from the community.

                          Any input is welcome.

                          Go professional at home. Bring your home line up to business level.

                          Ubiquiti ERX for $60 and a UAP-AC-LITE for $80.

                          This 1000x this.

                            Seems like overkill - over spending.

                              really? do you need much more than this for application it's meant for? Also, how many places are providing 150 Mb to the internet?

                                Enough places that I don't think we can just assume it's not widely available anymore. Still not nearly enough places, but thanks to Alphabet (Google), it's becoming much more common.

                                  Outside of the US it is very common and the US is getting there quickly.

                                    Maybe quick by US standards, but certainly not quick.

                                      I certainly wouldn't call it quick even by US standards. Maybe we'll see the average business have a 150 Mb pipe in the next 5 years.

                                        It'll be available. Whether or not people take advantage of it....

                                          Do you need 150MB as a solo user? How can you take advantage of it if the content hosts (Microsoft, dropbox, google) throttle your download rate from their servers.

                                            It depends what you are doing. I sure want 150Mb/s (not 150 MB, that's disk connection speeds.)

                                            Think about this... I get 100Mb/s - 1,000Mb/s from my own servers online. Plus I get a decent amount from Netflix and similar. We use services like Google, Amazon, OneDrive and more. Want to use all of those in any quantity and suddenly 150Mb/s doesn't seem like all that much.

                                            Now, I'm not a single user, I am a family of four. But this stuff adds up FAST. Considering that your personal storage can be all online and we need GigE at home, why wouldn't we need GigE on the WAN?
