I think this is the part I was missing thanks

OP literally said they were looking for APs to use with their router/firewall

At that point why not just use a ubiquiti/microtik ap though?

APs don’t run openwrt though. Openwrt is for a home router/firewall and AP combo. AP is just the wifi part and plugs into a router

All these openwrt folks have never hears of opnsense or what?

Holy shit never expected to see this comment on lemmy. I worked on magma in the early days of it

Strange New Worlds is pretty good. I’ll probably cancel when I’m done watching it though.
