With removable antennas, be aware that in many cases the external antennas are only one band, with internal antennas for the other band.
Depending on your budget, I'd also consider an x86 box as a router, one or more APs (either APs, or inexpensive all-in-one wireless routers configured as "dumb APs"), and a managed switch.
Interesting ones include the NEXX 3020H/F/AD (8 MB Flash / 64 MB DDR / MT7620N / ~15 USD), the A5-v11 (4 MB Flash / 32 MB RAM / RT5350F / ~7-9 USD), Onion Omega2 (16/32 MB Flash / 64/128 MB RAM / MT7688 / 5/9 USD + ~5 USD shipping).
Hello
There is a thread for cheap devices. So I decided to have one for better devices too.
My starting points are TP-Link Archer C7 and C2600. Do you know any other wireless gateways with plenty of RAM (64 MB minimum), enough flash (8 MB in this case, since you can always extroot) and plenty of processing power?

At least from my reading of the posts here, the C2600 isn't as popular as the high-end Linksys WRT3200ACM, WRT32x, or Zyxel NBG6817 units. If I were looking for an all-in-one wireless router, those would be on my short list.

and, as the FCC is impacted by the shutdown, https://fccid.io/Q87-WRT1200AC/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-2558430
If those are dual-band antennas, I don't have more information than what is there.
