First off, let me say this little white disc has been a game-changer for my home office setup. I was skeptical about ceiling-mounted APs, but the AP240 blends in so well, my guests thought it was a smoke detector!
The setup? Surprisingly painless. Yes, the manual’s font size is a joke (grab a magnifier!), but once I plugged it in via PoE, it just worked. I chose the 5GHz band for my work calls, and the difference is night and day—no more pixelated Zoom faces while my kids binge Netflix downstairs.
What surprised me most was the seamless roaming. Walking from my attic office to the backyard with a video call running, the handoff between this and my old router was smoother than my last job transition. No drops, just a quiet ‘Oh, you upgraded?’ from my colleague.
Now, about range—it’s not perfect. My detached garage (about 90ft away) gets spotty coverage, but for indoor use? Flawless. The ABS casing survived my ‘oops’ moment during installation when I fumbled the drill. Pro tip: Mount it centrally. Mine’s hidden above a bookshelf, and the LED indicators are discreet but visible enough for troubleshooting.
After 3 months, it’s been rock-solid except for one auto-reboot during a storm. For the price, I’d say it punches above its weight—just don’t expect enterprise-grade support. The web interface feels like it’s from 2010, but hey, it gets the job done.
