Ubiquiti Networks Breach

I bought a Linksys WRT3200ACM specifically for use with OpenWRT after a bunch of research. It's modern hardware and based on Marvell, not Atheros. I don't have lots of SSIDs, but I do have separate 5G and 2.4G SSIDs, and they're working well enough.

Thanks for the info!

Separate 5G and 2.4G SSIDs are no issue in my experience-- it's multiple SSIDs on one phy where Atheros goes wrong.

I really want WiFi6 gear... but given that there's no real OpenWRT support yet, and how long it's taken 802.11ac to mature in OpenWRT (it arguably hasn't yet), it's kind of discouraging.

5G and 2.4G is usually not handled by the same NIC. So that'd be why they're not problematic.

The Velop series, from my own inspection, seems to be based on a custom (neutered) version of OpenWRT
