Looking for a really powerful wifi router. Any recommendations?

I've found this to be excellent. There's a v2 newer version of it as well.

You'll also be limited by the transmitter of the device connecting to the router... so a more powerful wifi router will only be able to help so much. The new wifi router might have a better antenna to receive the signal and you'll get better range but there's a limit to how much better it can get.
Ubiquiti makes some great products.
Agree! My cousin in IT told me that when he comes home he doesn’t want to have to mess around tweaking a homelab network and just wants it to work. He recommended Ubiquiti.
Agree with others - go with
If you get the pro series - you can run your own VPN server and use that for your phone etc.
When start9 router?
When you say “WiFi” and “router” - which is it? Pick one. You won’t find something that excels at both.
For routing, big, BIG fan of mikrotik and open firmware.
For WiFi, ubiquiti shit is a hassle to get your own controller running, but still pretty nice once it’s done.
Another vote for Mikrotik, but prepare thyself for many deep technical rabbit holes. Cheap to buy and not dependant on any cloud shenanigans. Massively long life expectancy. I've had hands on lots of 10+YO units still in use and getting regular software updates.
Ubiquiti is a much easier platform to learn, but in my experience the hardware life expectancy is 2-3 years, and I've gotten rugged on their cloud stuff (bought products only to have them EOL with no warning a few months later and punted from their services). YMMV
I should add that on the Mikrotik platform, you'll have lots of option for "powerful" WIFI, to the point of breaking many ISED rules and going #straighttojail. Buy a hAP ax3 or RB4011 and set the region to Canada to stop yourself from accidentally microwaving your neighbours popcorn 😅

Sounds like really powerful EMF radiation. Go Ethernet instead. 😉
Ubiquiti
I like Ubiquity as well.
I recommend changing your mind, or at least using open-source 900MHz options for whatever you need "power" for.
You should be able to use the onion browser to read (a slightly outdated version of) my article on wireless networking to get a better understanding of the cybersecurity landscape for WiFi routers right now, but long story short, "more powerful" is a bad metric to have on your wish list these days.
This article is also on nostr as a NIP-54 article, but the nostr dev goon squad (fiatjaf and others) have broken the display by making NIP-54 stop supporting its original markdown formatting (and also still not allowing the use of wikitext, as the other version of the article used)
You still might be able to read the nostr version too - nostr:naddr1qvzqqqrcvgpzqamkcvk5k8g730e2j6atadp6mxk7z4aaxc7cnwrlkclx79z4tzygqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqq6ar0wgkk7ur9dckhw6ttdy7v69kd
Sorry I posted the wrong nevent for the nostr version of the article I mentioned, here's the correct one
