What hardware in particular did you get for this client? I'm considering doing some rewiring at my home.
You know you are the one who started this thread with the exact same question, right?
I am glad I resurrected it.
haha I know, I never came back to this at my place, and seeing it again reminded me about it.

I go with a ERL and a UAP-AC Lite. Though if you want the fastest available versions of AC, you should go with the UAP-AC Pro.

ERX is cheaper and has a switch chip, so I go with that over the ERL.

I might finally bite the bullet and stop using the built in wireless on my FiOS router. I never need to connect to the FiOS devices anyway.
-
With the ERX and the APC Lite you can only run the one AP over POE with that router, correct?
If I wanted more AP's I'd have to run power.
Where as I could get the SFP and have 5 passive POE ports usable for additional AP's if desired. (wouldn't this be the wiser choice?)

An ER-X and the UAP-AC-LITE
It is the perfect setup for the small office or home office.
The ERL is more expensive and does not have a switch chip. So if you have more than one wired device, you have to get a cheap switch.
The ERX also can be powered from the same PoE injector that comes with the UAP-AC-LITE. So that is one less wall wart to plug in.

I haven't played with the ERX yet, but I'm sure JB is right.

Does the ERX only support the single POE?

The ERX is less powerful in its routing capabilities, but your typical SOHO will never hit those limits anyway.
For a normal SMB office where they have switches and such, I use the ERL or ER-PoE.

Technically, the ERX does not support any PoE. It is a passthrough only. It just siphons off enough power to run itself in the process.
-
@JaredBusch so I'd have to purchase an additional POE injector or do they come with the UAP‑AC‑LITE?

All of the UAP series come with a PoE.

Well that's just swell, saves some money.
Thank you for the input.
