Hi All, 

I was wondering what would be an ideal setup for my home and office.

3,000 sq ft House/ ATT Fiber Optic 1G

-Master bedroom closet will have the switch panel (CAT 5E)

-2nd Floor Ceiling (CAT 5E Outlet)

-Downstairs Office (CAT 5E Outlet)

Which products do you recommend and should they be placed?

Assuming the ATT Modem will stay in the closet upstairs. I should have a router downstairs in my office and a Access Point upstairs on the ceiling.

Looking forward to any advise.

I'm a fan of mesh systems (orbi/mk nighthawk). Especially if you're planning on having a router +access point. 

Is the one with "ceiling" going to be powered with POE?

Thanks for responding! yes the ceiling will be POE.

the orbi pro (AC versions) has a satellite that can run of POE.

Might be worth checking out to get like a SRK60 system and add in the SRC60. 

That'd give you a router, standard satellite, and a POE satellite.

Thank you! I will definitely be looking into that!
