Much appreciated gentlemen.  Having done a little Google research, I'm now looking at Merz henleys, probably in size medium.  Beautiful stuff.

Decided to revamp the wireless situation at my house.  Anyone have any experience setting up a network for ~20 people  (probably around ~50 computers/phones/tablets/etc)?

My thinking is using an ASUS RT-AC66U as our main router, and using our older Linksys router as a bridge…

@emceeQ waves, yup that'd be me :).

Comes down to walls/doors and other factors that block line of site. Wireless is a shared medium (like hubs), a device further away can hose the entire network whilst everything waits for the distant node.

It's defo worth either reducing power levels, and/or dropping lower transmission rates(speed), to get the best performance out of the network.

I would NOT be purchasing any AC gear, it's FAR to early in the lifecycle. The way the standard works uses far more of the frequency than any device on the market is compatible to receive ,and most will not likely move to it for a long while as it's a very ineffecient use of frequency, both from power-drain, and spectrum.

Stick with N (5Ghz) devices, only use dual/2.4Ghz radios as/if/required, it's a noisy spectrum and poor performing, generally.

I deal with enterprise kit

Ideally, if you can, I'd not run DHCP/NAT/Routing on your access point, and let your/an ADSL modem handle that, even more ideally a firewall/router..

A single combined device that's made to NAT/DHCP/Route, plus does solid N wireless by the looks of it is ZyXEL ZyWALL USG20W. Have not used, but looks very solid.

Hope that's of some help.
