I have three Banana-Pi routes, they all run OpenWTR or ImmortalWTR. Take a look at their latest because what cool about it you can replace the wifi board. Which means that you can upgrade the wifi to Wifi 8 if and when it comes out. I am current doing Wifi6, the wifi board I have comes with Tri-Band radio on it.

<br>It has four stand 1GB ports or you can use SPF connectors and do either 2.5Ghz which I am doing at this time or up to 10 GB.

I'd like to throw out two recommended features that our 6 year old ASUS RT-N66W offers. The ability to schedule the WiFi (ours is set to go off at 11 pm and on at 7 am) plus the ability to set output power level (we keep it at level 3 of 4 as it's only used for cellphones -- our 3 workstations are all wired).
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
When we leave town, we turn off the scheduler and raise the power level to high, for the use of a couple of WiFi security cameras.
</div>
<div>

My engineering background and boatloads of studies lead me to minimize exposure to radio waves. Since we learned that 5G had come to our neighborhood last year, we sleep inside of a shielding canopy.

Currently using a 3 year old ASUS RT-ACRH18 with two wired and 4-6 wireless clients, usually low load. It was having issues delivering a video, and the log showed a bunch of dropped connections from all over the IPv4 range.

When I remotely rebooted, its IP pinged but the routing and web interface didn't come back up. Tried a short power off, same issue. A little longer power off worked, at least for the moment. Did a firmware update once it came back up fully. After I send this I'm going to shut it off for the night and see if it helps clear things out.

However, having a backup is always a good idea. Recommendations? House isn't too big, wood and whiteboard internal walls. Main issue is that my wife's Mac is old and sometimes doesn't keep a good connection. Cost is a consideration, still haven't found a job yet.
