If in the US, "OpenWrt WiFi 6" options are largely the Linksys/Belkin E8450/RT3200, the TPLink EAP615 In Wall, the Unifi U6 Lite, and U6 LR. Both U6s and the Belkin/Linksys units are AX on 5GHz spectrum, and N on 2.4GHz. TPLink's EAP615 is AX on both.


Enough so that both Amazon and eBay have made it near impossible to search for that Linksys model. They show everything but.


Amazon US has it shipped and sold by Amazon as the first search result, at $150. The Belkin can be found for ~<$100 on Walmart.com, shipped and sold by Walmart.

I was unable to find the the opposite combination.

That being said, I think I should have listed it as: Linksys E8450 and Belkin RT3200. Only difference is the Linksys is black and the Belkin is white. Internal HW is (so far) identical.
