Oh, right, you only mentioned AP in the Subject. If your router can handle (close to) 1 Gbit/s speeds then, yes, the next step is to find a suitable AP. You also need to consider where / how the AP will be used. E.g. this article discusses some of the potential issues. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/04/remote-work-lagging-if-you-cant-plug-it-in-upgrade-to-mesh/ Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
