Hey, I am looking for a router to use as a mesh device behind a Fritzbox.

In the future I may use it as the main device.

I am looking for something good, open, Wifi 6 or higher, with good support.

I think so too? Isnt linux just made for that? All these routers are just weak PCs.

But I wonder how well antennas work here.

That's going to depend on the wifi hardware you use, their is probably some good usb 3 or pcie wifi adapter.

Wifi is not very important in my setup so I can't recommend anything.

But it is certainly an option to explore because these routers can be quite expensive.
