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 tp-link EAP615 wall Apps, they are great and run OpenWRT like a champ.

I have 2x Tplink EAP 610 access points. Linking back to an Opnsense virtualized router. The APs are great and Omada is fantastic - I'm running it in a docker container with no cloud access required.

I would go all Omada if I could but that would mean I'd need 3 POE Omada switches and I cant justify that cost at the moment.

And sadly Omada is years behind in their gateway/Firewall. OPNsense is far better in that regard, going back to a Omada gateway is like going back to a tricycle when you drive a car. Sadly.

I was meaning their switches. I didn't know they did routers / firewalls. Interesting that they're not as advanced as their other offerings which are really good. My opnsense setup has taken years to hone and I have no desire to start over with that.

EAP-615

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.

Been happy with unifi stuff for a long time now.

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.
