[gentoo-user] Recommendations for WLAN-AP?

[wabenbau]

I'm searching for a new WLAN-AP that is fast, powerful and reliable. 
I can remember that there were some recommendations in this list some
weeks/months ago, but I can't find them.

Hi wabe, did you decide yet? You might find this article useful:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/03/from-the-wirecutter-the-best-wi-fi-router-for-most-people-anyway/

Before that article came out, I also arrived at the same conclusion: the
TP-Link Archer C7 v2 is the best for me. My requirements also included
OpenWRT support.

Sorry for my late response, but I was on a holiday trip till last night.

I never thought about using OpenWRT before I read your post, but I 
wish I had. I already bought two ZyXEL NWA1123-AC. Unfortunately it 
seems not possible to run OpenWRT on these devices. 

I will call the dealer tomorrow. I hope that it is possible to exchange 
the devices because I still have not opened the packagings.

I'm a little late to the conversation, but my roommates and I use a $20
TP-LINK with DD-WRT as an AP because it has better wireless than my $100
Netgear router. The routing part of the TP-LINK isn't nearly as good
(chokes on more than 10 devices), but the Netgear for routing with the
TP-LINK for an AP is a perfect combo.

I have two questions about the Archer C7 v2.

1. Can the stock firmware handle multiple SSIDs and VLANs?
2. Can OpenWRT on the Archer C7 handle multiple SSIDs and VLANs?
