Tried luxul for this home but it is performing poorly. What are you currently using to provide reliable coverage through your larger homes? Throughput isn't as important as coverage and seamless handoffs between AP's

Ruckus all the way...did you also perform a site survey prior....this will help in finding any source of interference or best channel to use.....
Also would help to specify the type of construction, type of devices been used in that house. Do they have a lot of 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz devices....
There's a lot more that will impact the WI-FI signal, but if you are looking for a short answer: Ruckus will give you the best result, but it still require some planning ....

Wifi is like playing catch.
You can have a all star left fielder throwing to a 5 year old. It all comes down to how far the 5 year old can catch and throw

Personally, I would do Aruba, but Cisco Aironet and Ruckus would also work. Lots of Negative posts about Luxul....

Once helped out on a job where a big new Luxul system was just installed, made me a bit worried. We were constantly losing Internet connection but were still on the network. Replaced two modems with no success. After back and forth with Luxul, we find out that the newly released system had a glitch that prevented the Internet from passing through over WiFi, and that they were working on a patch for it. WTF?!?! Needless to say, the Luxul came out right away and was returned.

I like Ruckus.
That being said,
The last 14000 SF. house we did was all Netgear repeaters on a Cisco head end.
To get where we needed to be the house would have required additional wire and that wasn't happening.
There were outlets in the top of every closet so we decided to try the Netgear WN3000RP. Each device shares the same SSID and roaming is seamless.
Its been less than a year so longevity is unproven but so far so good.
Coverage and speed are excellent.

We use Pakedge a lot, but nothing this big. They have a micro-cell controller just for this size project. Hasn't anyone here used their system?
