I am currently in the market for some wireless access points and thought I’d get some suggestions here first. I am currently using some old eero pro’s as access points with a firewalla router. The firewalla isn’t old and I am happy with it so I am not looking to replace it with something at this time.

Are there suggestions for more privacy focused networking equipment? Or is that just a dumb question to ask?

    AFAIK you don’t have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.

        Maybe they just want to play with open WRT? Maybe they have extra hardware that they want to use as access points?

            They said they were looking for privacy-focused, open source options. So get a Unifi AP and flash OpenWRT on it, and that fits the bill.
