Would it not provide any advantages for home use?Not sure why you'd consider a $1000+ AP for home use. Netgear supports the 6GHz band and is a fraction of the price of the Ruckus.
I don't really need 6E. It would be a nice bonus. I need a reasonable reliability at long range more than anything. My outdoor Ring cameras keep disconnecting.No, higher price does not necessarily mean a better product for any given use. In a home environment, there would be no real advantages. To the contrary in fact, as mentioned, the Netgear actually has support for some things (namely the 6GHz band) that the Ruckus doesn't.
I just checked and the Netgear’s 6Ghz is only 2x2 which makes it slower than the 5Ghz. Disappointing, not really much point to it having 6Ghz since I’m not in a crowded apartment building with lots of 5Ghz interference.Datasheet on the Netgear indicates it has about double the antenna gain of the Ruckus (but no mention as to sensitivity). With that said, you're not going to overcome physics. If you can't locate the AP closer to the devices, maybe get something with external antennas that are directional instead of omni-directional. That will make way more difference than throwing money at fancy APs.
