Thinking about this more, I doubt I'll setup any OpenWRT APs on my network going forward. Most of the things I like about OpenWRT, and need it for, are related to being my router. My OpenWRT APs are just "dumb" APs. Wifi is off on the router.
For the APs, I could use a mesh kit like the TP-Link Deco unit I installed for a friend recently. Super easy setup, reasonable price (cheaper than equivalent OpenWRT hardware I'd buy), wired backhaul up to 2.5Gbps.
- elliotf 1y agoTo offer a contrasting viewpoint, I don't have openwrt as my router, but only have openwrt APs, because it's the best and cheapest way to have VLAN support in my APs, keeping iot and guest VLANs separate from my main network.
