This question is directed to wireless networking specialists and DIY enthusiasts who have successfully incorporated an efficient 802.11AC systems in their houses so that it covers the whole house including garden areas.

Is there a system out there that allows this in a simple, user-friendly and highly efficient manner ? Access points around a big house should not compromise bandwidth / performance.

I've read good things about Luxul products. Does anyone out there have any experience with Luxul ?

Forgot to mention, the 802.11AC system must be backward compatible with the "n" and "g" specification.

I hear good thing about Luxul. That said I have Ubiquiti and its been rock solid.

They have AC WAP's for indoor and outdoor use.

I don't know anything about Luxul. I would use a Ubiquity UniFi AP AC: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac/

You can get them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B00D80J2XU/

They also make an outdoor unit: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-outdoor/

I cover an 8000 sq ft home plus boat dock and detached garage with seamless roaming between nodes. All this at a great price.

How many nodes do you need for such a large space?

I have three radios. This provides plenty of coverage for the house. I have another in my detached garage and another out by the doc.
