jet , 4 days ago True, but you can use your gateway to cut off google wifi from google, and still use the radios. No need to buy new hardware. Heck, you can put openwrt on some google wifi models https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi My advice stays the same, work with what you have first, save your budget, then SLOWLY, after doing research, buy one thing, and fit it in. Your advice is good if you just want the fastest way to de-google yourself, but i think the OP wants to run a homelab, and learn, and understand.
