My IoT device count is somewhere between 100-120 devices so I need something that can handle all that and most of them only work with the 2.4g band.
I was thinking either the ubiquiti U6+ or the U6 pro to start with and maybe I need two of them to cover the whole house + outside.
I might go for the gateway ultra as well so I can control everything a bit better.
The questions:
Does the U6 pro have any big advantages over the the U6+ since I will mostly use the 2.4g band on it?
If I get two of the APs or more, with the help of the gateway ultra, can they work as a sort of mesh network so I can keep the same network ids? Or will they have their own networks and I just need to connect the devices to the closest one manually?
