For example, privacy violating linksys or netgear, or devices with components running improper firmware with a 14 year old vulnerability?

The reason that I ask, although I don't want this to impact the quality of answers, is that I'm shopping for a new router that is secure and private but rather than paying commercial and industrial prices I would rather get a consumer router and overwrite it's software.

What access point can you recommend for use with OpenWrt?

I use OpenWrt on x86. I use this build but added a WiFi card and antennas. At first the WiFi performance was very good giving me great speeds and range. Some time ago performance degraded. The signal range is extremely limited giving me disconnects on my phone when I'm 4 meters away.

How could I debug what the cause might be. Any ideas?
