I like Ubiquiti

i like ours. though they're technically both wired to the router, the AP handoff is great

if you're comfortable with proprietary solutions, ubiquiti. if you want openwrt, just get any modern supported hardware, i like gl.inet

sadly i do not but it is likely that someone will answer this

Hi! I'm an InfoSec professional, and mesh routers are better than ever. They really help if you have a C or L shaped apartment or have brick/concrete walls in your house. I recommend the TP-Link Deco series for their reliability, quick critical updates, and for not selling our data to China (yet).

Also good brands: Asus (Taiwan) Eero (USA-China)

I was genuinely impressed by the TP-Link mesh I got for my friend's place. It was kind of a swing in the dark but it worked out great.
