I am working on setting up internet at a new place and I have the ability to design it from almost the ground up. It needs to be cost effective.

I already have a device that will act as a router but now I need wifi

    What’s did you land on? For those of us looking to do the same now.

      I have a Linksys router zi bought from Walmart and a TP-link ap I bought off of newegg. Both a running openwrt.

      How big of space are you trying to fill? You could pickup some regular routers and then you could flash openwrt and daisy chain them together.

        After a bit of research, I’m leaning towards a UniFi Express Router. For the AP, one of the desk mountable APs from UniFi. Either the Swiss Army Knife Ultra, or U6 mesh.
