Recommendarions for WiFi 6 AP?

can anyone recommend a good standalone access point with wiFi6?
At the moment I have a Draytek Vigor 902 but this maxes out at 300 and Im upgrading my fibre connection.
(I have a NanoPi R4S router and Netgear GS108 switch)
thanks

Netgear WAX 220, WAX 620?

I got a Zyxel NWA50AX Pro AX3000 last year and am very happy with it running 23.05.5. It has 2.5Gbe backhaul, PoE+ powered, $72 when I got it on sale, currently $85 on amazon. The non-Pro is AX1800, 1Gbe and $60 right now.

Cudy WR3000S or H

If in EU, T-56, 40€.

If in UK and can find T-56/ZYXEL EX5601-T1, same device just ISP rebranding but with slight difference in Openwrt flashing instructions. flashable and great hardware same as GLINT MT6000 without the emmc and a lot cheaper.

Any of the Cudy devices TR-3000, WR-3000/S/H.

all of these are current favourites for Openwrt.

If you want to experiment and want to test water.
Quantumm Fiber W1700k is Cheap Wifi 7 triband (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, 6Ghz) AP, but Openwrt is wip.

Thanks everyone!

Zyxel NWA50AX Pro vs. Zyxel NWA50AX:
The Zyxel NWA50AX would be fast enough for me. I would only use it as a dumb access point. The power consumption will also be lower than that of the Zyxel NWA50AX Pro. That's not unimportant to me.
But what about the range? Is there any experience of this?

Zyxel vs. Cudy WR3000S?

+shipping right?

I can get a signal in the street in front of our house, which is a big Faraday cage (we live in earthquake country, so the outside wall is stucco laid on a couple layers of wire mesh). Signal is as strong as any of the other recent devices I've tried, Belkin RT3200, TP-Link EAP620-HD.

Yes, S&H isn't free.

Still a good deal, I've just ordered one for 55€ to germany (shipping was 15€). I'm going to use it as a Wifi AP and switch to replace my DIR860L B1.
I just have to find out which serial cable I need and order that as well.

Btw do you have any idea which model they ship? Model: EX5601-T0, EX5601-T1 or EX5600-T1?

The Openwrt One?
