minus-squareTexMexBazooka@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·19 days agoI’m saying that your router and access point should be separate devices anyway, especially if you don’t want to replace said router. My router doesn’t have wireless at all. I have a dedicated WiFi 6 access point for that, if I want to go up to a newer standard I just replace the AP.
minus-squareshortwavesurfer@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·19 days agoYeah, fair enough. I’m kind of an intermediate user, because when I think of Access Point and Router, I think of the same device. But yet, I’m definitely a big advocate of open source software and hardware. But I do not self-host very much.
