Shopping for new router/AP should start with looking at OpenWRT, it's just a lottery relying on vendor hardware.

It is indeed amazing how all the WiFi APs suck, wether it is hardware, software or both.

I’ve had no complaints with my UniFi APs, but that is a fairly small sample size. And I’m using an older model; I haven’t upgraded to WiFi 6 or 7 yet.

Unifi/Ubiquity does not have a spotless record, far from it. But i must indeed admit they are getting back on track.

Nah, just the cheap ones.

Buy Ruckus, it’s high quality hardware, but you’ll be paying enterprise prices for new hardware. But used hardware is fine.

Wow. You weren't kidding about the price :)
