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

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.
I’m a cheapskate so I can’t justify spending money on nice things. Your way is probably better.
It isn’t too bad the way I priced it out. $150 for a UniFi Express router, then $80 for a UniFi UK-Ultra AP.
Yeah I spend like $40
Impressive 👏👏👏
Yeah I am paying for college so my homelab is literally all used hardware.
