" ... I've actually observed wireless connections outperform wired. ... "
" ... I'm using only a fraction of the features in my installation, but it's perfect for what I need (Ethernet connected A.P.). ... "

I wasn't able to test out having a bunch of devices 20+ users using it at one time but in my testing, AC routers with good performance speeds seem to always handle demand with no issues. ... "

" ... *Gigabit switch w/PoE Ports - up to you, but having powered PoE ports eliminates the need for your Access Points to have a power cord - power comes directly from the Ethernet cord, allowing for a cleaner look and one less wire to hide. ...

" ... The physical installation was very simple once the CAT5e cable was in place. ... "
" ... Then you plug it and run your network cables through it. ... If you can run ethernet cables in your attic (at home) or have a suspended panels ceiling to run the cable through, then this thing just becomes a thing attached to your office ceiling with the cable hidden away. ... "
