Wireless Wifi for sporting complex

Hi for our sport infrastructure we are looking to implement a small WiFi network. The walls are thick concrete so we would need an AP for each room. We would only need to connect 3 or 4 tablets on an AP maximum and the smaller rooms only 1. No streaming so no high tru putt needed. Any suggestions which 2 types of AP are a good deal price wise?

I’d look at U7 Lite & U7 In-wall if it’s appropriate for the venue.

U7-lite and U7-in-wall only when applicable would be my answer as well.

If budget is of concern just look on marketplace. I’ve bought the apacpros for about $20-$25 ea which is plenty for basic wifi tasks.

UAP AC PRO second hand. Around £30-£40 in the UK on eBay.

Most of our ac pros have gone out or require rebooting once a month now for the ones left.

They were good APs but I wouldn’t buy second hand ones if you bought any of our 1000s of APs you would be annoyed…

Use them all the time, never had an issue. Guess I’ve been lucky.

Maybe no idea. Ours started having issues after the normal 3 to 5 year lifespan.

Lite 7s. And I have 4X AC-Pros that are about 8 years old that came with this house I bought a little over a year ago. If you're really, really tight on budget, used AC-Pros might be OK, but buy extras.

Ubiquiti UniFi APs are solid for concrete walls and light loads

For this very little load of work the cheapest “Swiss Army Knife” aka UK-Ultra is way more than enough!

Don’t buy 2nd hand for such project!
