RE: replacing the wndr3800... Lately I've been thinking about a different model, switching to one of these newer multi core devices to act as a central router running SQM/etc and _no_radios_ and then deploying lightweight ath9k APs around the building. Maybe something like ubiquiti unifi AP (non-AC) running LEDE? Any other good and cheap ath9k AP options? (hard to compete with the wndr3800 now costing $25 shipped, but an AP might have better antennas and PoE) If/when ath10k catches up then just switch the APs out. -- Matt Taggart matt@lackof.org
