AP Dying / Replacement Recommendations
-
I've been happy with the Ubiquiti AC Pro. $150 retail, a little less from Amazon. Recommend by a lot of folk here.

Yup, those caught my eye when perusing Newegg earlier. Ubiquity AC Pro
Newegg lists two of them with the same model number "UAP-AC-PRO" but different item number and a few different specs. I take the specs differences on a retail site with grain of salt though. Some times they just are not complete or accurate for one or the other models.
Which one do you have? They both look promising.
Update: Oh wait, one of those is not sold by Newegg. Maybe they are the same. Hate it when they do that.

The UAP-AC-PRO is the one FTW

To my knowledge, there are two SKUs for the UAP-AC-PRO, one which is a single unit and comes with a poe injector, and one which is a five pack of units without injector.
This is Ubiquiti's direct sale link: https://store.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ac-pro.html
And this is the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-802-11ac-Dual-Radio-UAP-AC-PRO-US/dp/B015PRO512/
I bought my first unit direct and my second unit via Amazon.

I would also suggest go with unifi, if you are budget issues they also sell the lite model for retail $89 of the new ac gen.. 2x2 and no 2nd ethernet..
I run all 3 models, I have lite in the guest room on 1 side of the house, pro in the center and lr in kitchen near patio door to better cover the outdoor patio..

I looked on Craigslist and ended up with 2 Cisco APs for $15 and so far the one I'm using is working flawlessly. PoE or AC adapter.

what ciscos AP did you get for $15??

So you have no AC devices or don't care to run on 5ghz? Those are quite old they don't even do 5ghz.. They are single band not really going to what I would call fast wifi ;)
-
None of my devices are ac, only n. My laptop might be 5Ghz capable but I never run it on WiFi at home since it usually sits within 5ft of a gigabit switch. 72Mbps is plenty for my phone just to check email, watch an occasional video etc when I don't have my PC turned on. Also, very tight budget. PC upgrades are much more important.

72Mbps would be PHY so /2 that real world number.. If your on say 20mbps internet or something guess works..
