I am currently in the market for some wireless access points and thought I’d get some suggestions here first. I am currently using some old eero pro’s as access points with a firewalla router. The firewalla isn’t old and I am happy with it so I am not looking to replace it with something at this time.

Are there suggestions for more privacy focused networking equipment? Or is that just a dumb question to ask?

    I've got two Ubiquiti APs and the standard Dream Machine and am quite happy with them too. Sure, they're not the cheapest option, but they're quite feature rich and expansion within the ecosystem is very easy.

      And they let you run 2 GHz, 5 GHz on the same SSID which is such a small stupid feature that for some reason a lot of consumer-oriented devices disallow.

      (I know, supposedly it’s “bad” to do this because apparently there are some garbage WiFi cards that aren’t smart enough to seamlessly switch between the best option, but that’s never been the case for me. I prefer this to clumsily switching manually between the two whenever I move a device.)
