About a year ago, a gave up on having an athn in an ALIX as may home AP,
and just connected a TP-Link AP. That has its disadvantages, but the
actual wifi traffic got much better in terms of reliability and throughput.
Would people now recommend running an AP "natively",
i.e. a wifi card (plus the anthenas) on and OpenBSD box
over running wifi over a dedicated device?
For a few reasons, I much prefer an external Access Point
A big one is, in my life firewalls are located in a place where APs
would be sub-optimal. Even back when I ran an OpenBSD access point,
(back in the wi(4) days!) it was a separate box well away from the
main firewall.
