Have you tried that model? I have been looking for assurance that it
could be used as an Access point as it comes. I can probably install dd
wrt or perhaps Tomato which has some features I find useful. I always
seem to get lost looking for openwrt compatibility?
That's one of the models I'm still using with openwrt.
But it seems that for a/p use the original software ought to be good
enough?
Yes, as long as you can figure out how to disable dhcp. I've also found
that some won't let you use the same ssid for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands.
If they're the same, then 5GHz capable devices will automatically use that.
