Picked up 2 Unifi In Wall APs but I'm not super impressed with the coverage for the whole house so I'm getting two more this week to hopefully blanket the whole house and pool area with one network. I'm guessing they just inherently don't have amazing range because they're on a wall?
Right, the only time I would consider the in-wall model is if there was already a wall jack but poor wifi in the room, or if the ceiling isn't accessible to mount a better AP.

That form-factor limits the design possibilities for tuning the signal, and I would imagine the signal would be somewhat directional.

Already had wire drops in 3 rooms of the house and wanted a minimal look of all that equipment.

We'll see how it all is once I put the 3rd in Wall on SW side of house and stick a 4th in the room it where the router and switch are on SE side of house.
