CassandrichLazyweb, what's a decent wifi ap/router in the $50-100 price range that works painlessly with OpenWRT? Good antennas, decent speeds, and low power draw (long life on battery backup) are my main criteria. TP-Link would be my normal go-to vendor and I saw some praise for the Archer C7 which I could get for around $60 but I wasn't clear from the OpenWRT wiki if it's reliable.
Elladan@dalias I picked up a couple of these used a few years ago and they seem to work OK. https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/e8450?s[]=e8450
