I’m thinking about upgrading my W-Fi and I was curious what wireless access points (WAP) people are using. I’m currently using a Netgear R7800 running OpenWRT.

    I use the Unifi access points. They work well and are fairly inexpensive. The management software can change settings on all of them at once, which is really handy if you have several.

        My access points are AC Lite and and U6 Lite. Those are discontinued though.

        If I get more for inside, I would probably get the U6+. I am also thinking about getting one of the AC Mesh access points for outside. I’m not too worried about speed since anything that needs high speed is wired. I don’t have any neighbors, so I have all the bands to myself. If you are in an urban area, you should probably consider one with 6GHz support.

        The U6LR is amazing but overkill. I use one to cover the house and hdnano to mesh with a uap-ac in an external building.

        I use a MoCo bridge and two U6LRs to cover 1km of farmland.
