Home wifi network for new built house

We are building a new house with LAN connections in most rooms, but i want to set up a strong home Wifi network and need advise on best path forward (we have 2 home offices). Which would be better the small business WAP solutions (ie the netgear WAXxxx) or have a single router at each floor? Not sure i need a mesh system with all the LAN connections but are there any advantages? maybe a basic question would separate routers interfere with each other? 

Any advise appreciated. 

Thanks 

Gerard

 

  • I would go with a mesh system. 

    It makes roaming much more efficient and easier. 

    They just work. 

    Versus using a standard router and then access points tends to have less roaming capability/stability.
