There is a unifi ac-ap lr with exceptional long range. I don't have much knowledge about WAPs but my router has one free cable port so I assume I could connect the WAP to that port and disable all wireless ports on the router and let the WAP handle the wireless devices. Does that sound doable?Yes, if you're already using the other router Ethernet ports and know it works. Before you commit to buying the WAP, however, I'd go get the Linux Controller software and make sure it runs on Fedora. Can't see why it wouldn't, but I've been around long enough (and then some) that I don't trust, just verify.
The android app should suffice these days. I setup the controller because the app wasn't as full-featured when I got my unifi, but I did use the app to do a basic setup first.
Packaging the unifi for fedora isn't all that bad. I made a basic package, but I never got around to adding an init script or systemd support. I just start the app manually when I need it.
Here's the spec file and srpm, in case they're useful to anyone: https://fedorapeople.org/~tmz/packages/unifi/ I've run the controller on fedora-22 and centos-6. I run it like so: cd /usr/share/unifi && sudo -u unifi java -jar /usr/share/unifi/lib/ace.jar startAlso worth noting is that version 5.x is now out. I didn't update to that immediately. I'd rather wait until it's been around a bit longer and I have some need of the new features.
