    Using APs with excessive transmit power does not really extend range. The client radio can only respond with such a signal.

    I use APs with proper MIMO and proper beam forming. Doing so allows for less time slicing between clients and allows for greater distance and speed per client. Take a look at the RUCKUS R560 or it’s more advanced siblings if you are interested. Even ubiquity equipment like the U6 has a proper MIMO implementation that Fritz does not.

    If people are happy with Fritz that is ok. But it’s lower range, with lower capacity, and with fewer features than many people would like. We should not be limited to consumer level Fritz products on fiber.
