Currently using a Linksys E8450 without issues. Goes for around $100. Throughput is good, even when you enabling permanent VPN (proton vpn) with close to getting full ISP speed (-700Mb/s). Only downside is that there is not a ton of space available for additional modules, but it has enough for my ne

I use wax206 openwrt as my main AP. It drops to 2x2 at 160 and beamsteering dies. Keep it in 80Mhz for best performance. Works much better longer distances on 80 because it’s 4x4. Also true for Belkin Rt3200 and linksys E8450. Keep em 80MHz

If you want to go ubiquity route then i would suggest a gateway as well. Which could be expensive. For opnwrt i have Linksys E8450. Works great. I am getting full gig speed over wifi when channel is set for 160 mhz wide.
