Definitely in the vein of what I was looking for, but for almost $90 I am going to ask for WiFi 6E

Personally I'd get standalone AP's and hang them off a standalone switch so that if the internet gateway goes down the LAN experience is not interrupted.

I don't know what that would do for me, though, what can I do on the LAN when the internet gateway is down? Also, why should the gateway reboot? I would like it to be up all the time

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The gateway device should definitely be up at all times, but in the real world, things don't always go as planned.

If you only use the internet, then maybe having your AP go down when your gateway goes down is fine. For us avid self-hosters, that is unacceptable behavior.

Access your NAS from your workstation or your media PC.

Ah... Yeah 6e seems like a reasonable ask

a reasonable ask

Off the car lot, we say 'request'.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I'm a little confused, what do you mean? That because it's an open source project it's more polite to request than demand?

Sincere question, I don't quite follow
