Weirdly broken Wi-Fi access points

I like the Ubiquiti gear. The AC lite is affordably priced. I'm also happy with the ERLite router.

It should be noted that Ubiquiti APs have no router functionality, they're just plain access points. Which is the way I like it, but might not be appropriate for many use cases.

I bought myself an Ubiquiti Security Gateway and the AC Pro access point. Works really well and the total cost wasn't all that much more than, for example, an Airport Extreme…

The best part is the fq_codel support :-)

Unfortunately it really limits performance, to about 60 Mbps on an ERLite.

Yeah, it disables all the hardware offloading unfortunately. But if you really need it because of a slow internet connection, I guess 60Mbps is good enough.

Their external antennas are awesome as well. For home use I prefer the Mikrotik Gigbit routers.
