WLAN Access Points - but which ones?

What is your opinion on the Devolo Wifi Pro 1750c? How about the speeds, etc.? They are quite a bit cheaper...

We still have 4 Access Point AC Pro "lying around," which I (adding a 5th) want to use for our ceiling outlets. I suppose the advantage of the Nano HD is not that big that it’s worth swapping, right?

if you already have them anyway just use them. For the 5th one you can just take a NanoHD. If the others get too slow at some point you can replace them gradually.


I don't know it from personal experience. What stands out to me is the power consumption of up to 22w (4 times as much as the NanoHD).
According to the datasheet, 5ghz 1299 mbits and 2.4ghz 450 mbits as well as only 3x3 mimo. I only know older devices from Devolo. AVM or Unifi were superior in terms of usability and performance data.
It's also quite large...
Personally, I wouldn't save 200€ on 2-3 APs and then "worry" about administration, design, power consumption, etc. How often do you replace them then? Every 5-10 years?
The Devolo or any others work just the same. We're talking about residential buildings here and not halls with concerts with thousands of devices...
You can be happy with both. For consumers without deeper understanding AVM is certainly a good choice as it can also be managed in the Fritzbox.

My switch has 12 POE outputs with a total of 100 watts. Two of the Devolos and 2 small cameras are supposed to be connected there. I think that will work. Or is there a maximum watt specification that a switch (Netgear JGS524PE) provides per port for POE? I can't seem to find any information about that.

The switch can easily handle that. I was more thinking that with, for example, 3 APs you'd have 15W consumption with the NanoHD and 66W with the Devolo. And that constantly. It's not a huge deal, but when buying new equipment you can also pay attention to things like that. You probably wouldn't buy a washing machine with energy class D anymore...

170€ vs. 40€ electricity per year. You can definitely pay attention to that. Eventually, the Nano HD will pay off just through electricity consumption.
