    Raspberry, seriously? What problems are you seeing?

    I have a raspberry pi 3 acting as a 5GHz access point for as long as it's been on the market, I can remember one time I had to restart it because of some wonkiness. About a dozen others as clients, never had an issue there either, fast and stable enough.

    All using the default os (raspbian first, raspberry os later).

    I've had 3 raspberry pis (1,2,3) and none have had stable WiFi. After an hour or two it would drop and the logs would get spammed with some error that I can't remember. Might be this issue wlan freezes in raspberry pi 3/PiZeroW (Not 3B+) . Similar issue Every two hours, like clockwork: "wpa_supplicant[313]: nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed".

    After that, I gave up on WiFi on Raspberries and used LAN, but they are so underpowered... my nextcloud instance took ages to do anything, XBMC (now Kodi) was slow and couldn't render videos > 720p (it was struggling with 720p honestly), even a simple audio proxy over bluetooth (forward bluetooth audio from phone to speaker) barely functioned as the bluetooth cut out or it was janky as hell.

    It's easier to put a old phone as a server than a raspberrypi.

    Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I've never seen those.

    XBMC didn't have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

    Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

    The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.

    Lucky you. Tried 4 different routers --> same issue.

    I gave up on RasPis long ago.
