Looking at replacing my two older APs with a WiFi 6 capable AP. Currently have a Ruckus R500 + an UBNT AP-AC-PRO. Would have ditched the AP-AC-PRO but I have issues w/ ESPHome ESP32s + the Ruckus. And now the Ruckus is dropping every client randomly until I reboot it. I live in a small single story house. But I have 40+ wifi clients. Mostly 2.4GHz but a handful of 5GHz clients.
Some I'm looking at
1. EnGenius EWS377AP. ~$200USD. About 2 years old but reviews seem decent.
2. Netgear WAX218. $170USD. Much newer. Can't find any real reviews. Haven't really heard anyone using Netgear APs.
3. Omada EAP660 HD. ~$200USD. I've seen a few complaints about Omada gear on r/homelabs. So I'm a little weary.
Any others in a similar price bracket? I'd like to stay away from Ubiquiti.
EDIT: Ended up ordering the Netgear. Was on sale and didn't want to miss it.
