Recommended hardware for hostapd and 802.11ax?

I am looking to ditch some PoE Ubiquiti hardware in favor of a DIY approach with 802.11ax cards. What card would you recommend for long-range 802.11ax? Are there gotchas when hosting with hostapd with some cards, like binary blob drivers, incomplete support, etc. that I should know about? Is there any reason I should avoid doing...

I don’t have an answer for your question, but have totally hated UI’s direction for my use case and business. Do I still buy their APs and switches? Yes…do I wish there was a better alternative, ABSOLUTELY.

I’ve tried Omada and the interface seems clunky. I wish there was a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Unifi Controller that would allow us to remotely manage self-built or openly programmable hardware.

I’m curious to see what others use, but I’ve been using Uptime Kuma for this purpose at several different sites I manage. I run Uptime Kuma on a VPS and locally on site. I have the local instance monitoring the router, gateway, DNS, and several other internal and external devices. I also have the local instance do a “push” check-in on my VPS instance. This gives me a pretty holistic view of things.
