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.

That is the sense I got from the WiFi 7 stuff I read but wanted to check.

Thank you for suggestion, will have a look.

I feel like Wi-Fi 7 in general isn't ready, at least in my home it's not worth it to me. Yet. But then, I'm still on 5, so 🤷‍♂️

I run two AC-1304's in my house. My connection is only 500megabit. Works fine for my needs 🤷‍♂️
