Suggestions for wireless access points (lemm.ee)

I am currently in the market for some wireless access points and thought I'd get some suggestions here first. I am currently using some old eero pro's as access points with a firewalla router. The firewalla isn't old and I am happy with it so I am not looking to replace it with something at this time.

Are there suggestions for more privacy focused networking equipment? Or is that just a dumb question to ask?

Ubiquiti is a solid choice. They require controller software to set up. You can run it on your computer, in docker, etc. You don't have to run it 24/7 if you don't want.

I have 3 different Unifi APs around the house and have no qualms with them. If I were going to replace them, I'd give Grandstream a serious look. They have built in controller software, or you can use their cloud management or run the software locally.

I've got two Ubiquiti APs and the standard Dream Machine and am quite happy with them too. Sure, they're not the cheapest option, but they're quite feature rich and expansion within the ecosystem is very easy.
