I have a couple older TPLink Wi-Fi 5 routers with OpenWRT. One is used as a router running various services like DHCP, DNS, firewall, VPN, etc., and the other is just an access point. I’ll probably eventually get a rack-mounted router and some Wi-Fi 7/8 access points, but my current setup works well enough, especially since I mostly use Ethernet for anything requiring a fast connection.
