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.

I had a few AC Pros in a 110+ year old house where other AP’s had issues with all the plaster & lathe walls. They worked great. I also have a couple of them installed at a non-profit org I volunteer with and everybody is very happy with how they work there as well.

After moving from that first house to a new one with a bigger footprint I upgraded to a pair of their U6 mesh AP’s, one at each end of the house. Never had any issues with them.

Aaah, good old plaster wire mesh, it's kinda like a Faraday cage. I've lived in a condo with plaster walls and one room that had it all around was nearly impenetrable.
