Open WRT and AP suggestions (lemmy.world)

Looking to replace ISP's default fibre modem connected router and two Eero 6s (with ethernet / EoP backhaul).

Looking to get an openwrt compatible router and some sort of access point connected via ethernet over power. £200 would be my max price for router.

Is it still too early to look at WiFi 7 ?

Was tempted by Flint 3 but missed pre order discount, however could not figure what would be a good access point to go with it to offer clean handover like the eeros have.

Want pretty simple life once setup, don't feel like I have the energy these days to tinker.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome, thank you.

MikroTik router with unifi APs. Rock solid and fast.

Wouldn’t get too hung up on openwrt, it was good for its day but there are far better options now.
