Yep. That’s the kind of answer I was looking for.
Thanks.
Most of the devices are indeed based on the 2.4.
Even the HD CAMS use only a few MB/s to operate.
There is a lot of competition with AP.
I’m reading also on UBIQUITI… their AP PRO seems quite good too.
Always been a Netgear customer. But these days options are widely available.

First thing coming into my mind is that already a WAX615, WAX620, or WAX630, or WAX630E goes ways beyond of what the common 1 GbE can deal with. To del with this AP class, you need at least a MultiGig capable (2.5 GbE) networking. Without, this is a pure overkill (or an investment into the future).
Talking of UniFi, there are reasons most of their offerings in the Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC-PRO is limited to 450 Mb/s on 2.4 GHz and 1.3 Gb/s on 5 GHz. Netgear plays at very affordable cost in device classes in the AX3000, AX4500, AX6000, and AXE7200 level. No way to cover this on Gigabit Ethernet.
