If you need more wifi on the vertical plane instead of the horizontal one, you can put the antenna horizontally, perpendicularly to the roof/floor.

Guess what? Repositioning the antennae at a 90 degree angle will absolutely NOT boost the signal nor would it help with data throughput . The wifi signal radiates (almost) like a perfect sphere and Not like a straight line, nor a pancake. I totally understand why one may think that because I once thought the exact same thing before I did a thesis on that exact subject matter. These 2.4/5GHz dual band antenna sets have omnidirectional radio dispursement patterns.

I do not remember the details right now but this router has given me no issues so far.

I love TP-Link because most of their devices support the flashing of aftermarket software. I got good reception in a ~1910s european house (some of the walls are made out of bricks, others out of concrete and some of those contain giant rocks from the river nearby as a "filler") by combining 5 20€ Tp-link routers (some are 144Mbit 2.4Ghz N, others are 300Mbit N). Works well enough to provide a consistent 3ms of ping to the router, 0% packet loss and no spikes by utilizing all available frequency channels to avoid stalls and it yields 50Mbit/s of effective throughput (more than enough for the 30Mbit/s internet).

If the router offers debugging tools, or has a serial header, you can often view the per antenna RSSI. What the device will try to do is find the ones with the best RSSI, and then further enhance using beamforming. Sadly beamforming doesn't handle height very well, and works best when clients are on the same level as the AP.

Sadly with that type of construction, 8 to 16mbps through concrete is good, provided the wrong type of equipment is being used.

There just isn't much of a way around it, , as the FCC imposed limits that many other countries follow, makes it unable to handle that level of attenuation properly.

I have the slightly cheaper AX4400 and it’s been a great investment ($129 USD). I was getting about half of the speed I was paying for with the provided modem/router (wired or wireless). Got the new Arris Modem and this installed and getting near full speed. I also bought some Netgear mesh extenders (though after seeing this I doubt I needed them) and I’ve been getting good speeds upstairs and in the kitchen as well. Next step is to see if my garage (detached) can get wifi from that mesh unit. All in all I was $430 in.

i ordered one of these 3 days ago. leaving unifi for home use due to odd issues with the new uap 6 lite.

This video was very chill with James!

You should've added a cheap OneMesh repeater to your setup. Especially with such a big building, and those lackluster speeds.

I just installed its little brother, the TP-Link AX55 in my house. It is really good. I am getting the max speeds that I pay for, with all of my WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 devices I have, wherever I am in my house. My last WiFi router which was WiFi 5 and the 5Gz band would be kind of hit and miss depending on where I was in the house. So I am sure this one is even better than mine. Unfortunately I paid only 20 dollars less for mine, than this one is currently going for.

What's the range coverage of it?

@NickyHendriks

Well, you're never going to get the 5400Mbps on wifi. The 5400Mbps is just a combination of all streams possible with that wifi standard. Even with Wifi6 you're not going to get above the 800Mbps-mark. Maybe a bit but not much. On those speeds the kind of client-device you're using and a lot of other external factors matter even more. I have a 200Mbps-subscription and I can get that on any device that supports Wifi5. If I got gigabit then the real difference shows. For work I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 which easily goes to 600/650Mbps whereas my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 LTE (also work) never goes across 400Mbps. It just doesn't. Even with wired options the client-device can be a bottleneck. Had a customer once who was complaining he wasn't getting only 640Mbps while on a wired connection. Turned out that his laptop had a gigabit-port but the rest of the hardware wasn't capable of handling gigabit speeds.

@ez45

Yeah that reply is accurate. Most devices only do 2x2 streams so a net gigabit is about the speed you'll get. They also tally 2.4G and 5G speeds although no device accepts data from both bands concurrently.

This is perfect, I’ve been checking it for a while.

Should use the guest network for IOT stuff or anything you don't want shut off when you shut off your main network. Wireless access points and some routers have had time-based restriction control for a long time now. In some ways I think that turning it off versus building (teaching) self control had some downsides.

one issue I have with OneMesh is the same as I have with Asus AiMesh - no products rated for outdoor operations.
