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.

    Went all in with UniFi some time back. No regrets.

    Currently running a few U6s. No real motivation to upgrade to U7s.

      +1 on this. Though i picked up 2 u7’s. VLAN support, easy to maintain and lets face it, superior function from most retail APs. If you’re a power user, this is the way.

      While expensive, UniFi hardware is just a huge step beyond the rest of the consumer market.

      I’ve had literally 10x the range (5x vs 50m), in congested environments, compared to ‘gaming’ hardware. I actually did a side by side to test. I was shocked at the difference.

      The bridging function is also a life saver. 2 LR units can get a reliable signal between each other, at ridiculous ranges.
