If you can live with only 802.11ac, I've had great results flashing OpenWRT onto Mikrotik wAP AC boards. Performance peaks at about ~400mbps TCP throughput at 2x2 MCS-9. WPA3 works without problems. For multi-ap, setting up 802.11r is fairly straightforward, k/v requires some custom scripting to generate the neighbor reports. Be careful not to get the new revision with the two chain radio as the chipset is different and not yet supported by OpenWRT.
- hackmiester 6y agoI just use the wAP ac (and cAP ac) as-is. I don't feel compelled to install OpenWrt.
- r1ch 6y agoThey're great devices even with the stock firmware, but their wireless drivers are quite dated (no wave2 support, no WPA3, no 802.11r/k/v). They do have a beta package with wave2 support but it's not supported on the low RAM devices like cAP / wAP AC.
