[SOLVED] Looking for an AP with small coverage.

[sponge_b0b]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an AP to put on my LAN

I'm looking for a little autonomous devices who

• work in 802.11 AC
• is able to disable all the other norm handle by the device (a/b/g/n)
• allow to modify the ouput power. (it's just for my living room, I would like to keep the signal inside as much as possible)
• (if this is possible) allow the connected wifi devices (like the smartphone on the diagram) to be part of the same netwotk as the router (who is the DHCP server) for exemple: 192.168.1.1/24

Thank's

Ubiquiti access points can control the output power. An AC Lite or nanoHD would be appropriate. You can disable the 2.4Ghz radio, but there is no way to be "AC" only. 5Ghz will always support "A/N/AC" ...

Thank you @kanewolf , for what I could read on their website the configuration of the AP pass trough their server ! WTF, no way...

I'll go for OpenWRT.

The Ubiquiti APs use their controller software. That software can be hosted on a PC/laptop on your LAN, on a phone/tablet, on their dedicated hardware controller, or a raspberry PI. You can setup cloud access to your controller via the Ubiquiti cloud service. You have misread the information. I started with a single AP and the controller software running on a laptop.

If you choose to go that route, then I would recommend Merlin firmware and a supported Asus router.
