Advice needed on selecting an Access Point

I have a requirement to find an AP with the best range within the budget, but have some quirks.

  • The use case is to set up a private network within a co-working environment.
  • Network needs to set up in the private office (cannot wall mount or ceiling mount; desktop or tucked under a desk only). Cannot do meshes.
  • No need for routing. That functionality is handled by a pfSense box.
  • Important: The wireless network needs to be reached when at the common area as well which is about 70-100ft away from the private office and through office partitions and some tick concrete walls.
  • I started with Unifi UX7 - signal drops after 20-30 ft.
  • My current options are Asus BE-86U (havent tried yet; but that is the budget; ~280 CAD).

Any suggestions are welcome.
