Hi
I have recently had an increase in the number of wireless devices on my home network (Eir F2000)
With this, I am getting complaints of connection problems. Googling leads me to think that the F2000 might not be up to the job.

If I get a WAP (Ubiquiti or other) can I just plug it into the ethernet port (and power it), disable the F2000 wifi and my problems will be solved?
Or will I need to get a router (device that can handle DHCP as well)

thanks

Maybe ask your provider for their latest router see how that fairs out and if the coverage is the issue add a new Ap to it. The router will tend not to have Poe so you will have to either get a poe switch or injector to juice the ap up or local 12 v 3 pin adapter.
