Now that black friday is pretty much here I’ve decided to do away with the ISP provided wifi router and I’m in the market for a wifi 6e access point. I already have an opnsense box at the ready to do the router part, the ISP’s wifi router is in AP mode.

For reasons I can’t change I can’t wire the house for ethernet, I have no coax and I already have powerline which works alright but far from great and doesn’t hit the spot. The AP has to be inside of a cupboard with 3 solid walls around it plus a wooden door that signals have to punch through.

I have never bought any wifi hardware so I’m a little lost on brands and whatnot. What I’m after:

• Wifi 6e
• Longish range
• Sub-200

I realise it’s probably a “pick 2” situation since 6e is relatively new and uncommon. I’m not after mesh systems, they’d be useless given the problem I’m trying to solve
