2 bedroom townhouse:
WRT3200ACM running OpenWRT with 2 aftermarket antennas: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HM3KBRH/ https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HM3KBRH/ and https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R1PA9EO/ https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R1PA9EO/
XFinity-supplied cable modem.
Gigabit semi-managed switch TP-Link TL-SG105E for my office upstairs, connected with a 50 foot cat6 cable.
Pretty simple. OpenWRT sends logs to my raspberry pi 4 general purpose server. Backups are sent to borgbase.com
Don't really have any issues with this setup. DNS is nice and fast, wireless reaches the whole (admittedly small) house. We have a separate 2.4GHz wlan for devices/sensors/doorbell etc etc.
I added the antennas because under some conditions some devices in rooms furthest from the WRT3200ACM would slow down, and they appear to have fixed any connectivity issues.
