Are there any “open” solutions to mesh networking that can compare to TP-Link Omada? I don’t think any open source hardware or software can come close, especially not for the newer Wi-Fi standards.
I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m seriously thinking about some Omadas. I imagine I can prevent them from phoning home, and the management software can run locally in a Docker container. Running it like that would be good enough for me even though they’re not “open.”
I’m planning a rework of my home Wi-Fi, and my current plan is an OPNsense box from Protectli, and a few EAP772’s:
If there’s something comparable/better that’s more of an open ecosystem, you definitely have my attention while I’m shopping around for different options.

My bad I was talking about TP-link

Ok… sure. But what physical devices would I use, and what software would they run?
