I'd consider this TP-Link to be "commodity", does dual band, is easily
flashable to OpenWRT (the reason I bought it)...

And on the plus side, it's less than $60 through Amazon, and Prime-eligible
to boot...

I have one in my living room serving both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, with 2 more I
bought through a Gold Box deal a while back that'll replace the WiFi
cablemodem (I have a Surfboard I need to get registered, which is *just* a
cablemodem), and

Nice inappropriate conflation. "low end commodity AP" --- think bottom or
even middle of the line Netgear or Linksys --- these come with
VxWorks-based firmware and no way to adjust the tiny NAT tables except by
reflashing with *wrt (which for these units is often a challenge because
they only accept firmware with the right config strings or checksums in
them, and if you get it wrong you may have a brick on your hands).
