David,
- I opted for the WAX202 after seeing this
discussion:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/wax202-30-at-us-staples/138622/31 - regarding the
other models, I don't see any other WAX models supported in the OpenWrt Table of
hardware -
https://openwrt.org/toh/start
- To my understanding, the Netgear firmware only produces an Access Point, as I need a
router, C++ libraries to run ampr-ripd, snmp, NetFlow, firewall, etc., I've switched
to OpenWrt already. I rarely run OEM firmware.
- While MAC filtering is not suggested as a security feature, yes - OpenWrt does support
it. I'm not aware of any limits. See the macfilter WiFi config
here:

I am considering WiFi 6E; but I currently have no devices possessing a 6 GHz chip. This
will definitely be a consideration for my next device purchase
Also, I found another sale at Office
Depot:
