I've been using Linksys E4200's with (Fresh)Tomato firmware for about 10 years now. Recently one failed and I think, due to all the claims about new wifi "versions", the more modern devices should provide better performance, so I've been reading some stuff every now and then and looking for a new setup.

People with knowledge (tm) who I semi-trust all seem to point at different devices for the wired and wireless part. Some even say you should split the router from the switch (so you can do a managed switch with vlans and stuff) but I will never use any of that and even my E4200's can handle vlans just fine. I do get that using dedicated access points has its advantages but it does get quite a bit more expensive.

On the other end, a lot of brand names are now using Chinese chips in their routers and devices like the GL.iNet MT6000 seem to be one of the current favorites on the openwrt forums (and seems to be a very powerful device). I think I'm still going to go for a separated setup but I've got no clue which devices yet.

Fwiw, Louis Rossmann recommends some things.

Such a weird thing that it essentially discriminates Mozilla based browsers though, I'd expect bots would follow the most-used-approach. So yeah, this does not make me happy..although the anime-girl kinda does

Although I agree that if it's a small business, it's better to outsource it to an established business but if you're serious about doing it yourself, check out OpenDesk/OpenCode. Also, why use your own hardware? A VPS is much more reliable.

If you're able, come as an expat. There are lot's of jobs that allow you to stay and after 5 years (differs by country), you can request citizenship.

Biggest hurdle would be timing, if you want it sound right.. Every speaker should be in sync as much as possible
