What access points do you use?
I'm thinking about upgrading my W-Fi and I was curious what wireless access points (WAP) people are using. I'm currently using a Netgear R7800 running OpenWRT.

I'm using 3 cheap routers that I bought used. They are all running openwrt and I have set up Dawn so that devices automatically switch to the best one. Wireless speed isn't as important to me as coverage and this allowed me to cover my entire house and allow access to high speed ethernet from multiple different locations.

Dawn sounds very interesting. It seems to need 802.11k and 802.11v on all AP-nodes, I am not sure they are supported by my hardware though. I've never heard of those standards, so it seems unlikely.
I also just read about a user complaining about crashes related to dawn. Does it run stable and does it also switch to the 5ghz band or does it seem to prefer 2,4ghz, as another user noted three years ago.

I haven't noticed any problems with it and 5ghz seems to be preferred. I have basic asus/tp-link routers that it works with so it seems to be pretty common.

which ones?

Just lookup cheap devices that you can purchase in your area and check here to see if it's supported.
