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.

In my opinion look much nicer in a home compared to ceiling mounts. I also run TP-Link Omada router and switches and selfhost the controller.

Get yourself some old cisco 3600 re-flash it with standalone firmware and get enterprise class WAP for cheap.

That one seems to be WiFi 4 (and upgradable to WiFi 5) so probably not a good choice for someone with a half decent internet connection.

I use a cudy wr3000. Great value for the price and features official openwrt support.

Some TP-Link thing I got as a hand me down... It's AP enough

I'm using 3 cheap routers that I bought used. They are all running openwrt and I have set up Dawn so that devices automatically switch to the best one. Wireless speed isn't as important to me as coverage and this allowed me to cover my entire house and allow access to high speed ethernet from multiple different locations.
