Qualcomm's Atheros descended chips are generally the best bet for Linux support, especially for use in an AP. In other words you want a chip supported by the ath10k or ath11k driver depending on which generation of wifi you want. 10k = 802.11ac, 11k = 802.11ax.
- jrockway 4y agoath10k isn't current hardware, though. We used that for Google Fiber wifi back in 2015. The world now has "Wifi 6" and other such nonsense.
- Dylan16807 4y ago6 is ax. So as the post says, ath11k.
- wtallis 4y agoYou could just as easily say that gigabit Ethernet isn't current, either. But gigE clearly isn't obsolete in the way a processor from the mid-2000s is obsolete, and likewise 802.11ac is still at least a few years away from being one of those radio standards that's so inefficient and outdated that it ought to be aggressively retired.
