DAWN - the BSS transition controller - and tips on making it work properly
It is very important to get up to speed with the basics by going through this website first and foremost: https://github.com/berlin-open-wireless-lab/DAWN
- I tried out DAWN and it's working great. Single AP, single SSID.

My new discovery: Decentralized Wireless Management
By the way, which degree of configuration did you set up? https://github.com/berlin-open-wireless-lab/DAWN/blob/master/CONFIGURE.md
- OpenWRT for meshnet and 200 devices?

Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
It's not out-of-the-box perfect, but I've had decent luck using DAWN, which targets openwrt, to get decent bandsteering. I can always ssh in (I personally havent been interested in installing/trying the "luci" web interface) & move someone between bands if I need to.
Also, this setup works across & steers clients between my multiple access points!
It's amazing being able to ssh in and see a map of what signals each AP sees. DAWN periodically asks clients to help map, so even if the AP's are on different bands, you can still compare what the signal would be if the node moved.
We'ee finally living in a pretty good time for open source wifi. A pity how only a couple chips have support (select MediaTek and Qualcomm) but wow things have gotten much better.

Ask HN: Decent Internet Router Recommendations?
I'm a long term openwrt user, finally even set up DAWN[1] to orchestrate multiple APs (sometimes a win, sometimes worse than manually picking).
I really hate to say it, but even for the geeks, I'd generally recommend some kind of mesh product. A roommate installed a parallel Google mesh product & it worked so well, had such great coverage. Google spent hella time making this product good, thanks in part to Google Fiber. There's a great talk on their finding from Avery Penarunn back at the first netdevconf[2]. I'm sure many of the competing products are also very very capable. They have a level of reliable, just works intelligence, even over wifi mesh, that makes me envious.
There's sadly little new news in the OpenWRT space. There's some on-the-cusp work with some new Qualcomm chips that might start working in mere weeks or months. But we've been running the same wifi4 & wifi5 hardware for half a decade now, basically, with no real options. The Netgear X4S R7800 is still the go-to openwrt router. MediaTek has some wifi6 capable routers[3] targeted to the low end, which are nice & available & cheap, which is great, but decidedly low end.

Which WIFI access Point is the best?
For central controller management there is DAWN (https://github.com/berlin-open-wireless-lab/DAWN) but I have not used it yet so I can't tell you how well it works.

Is there an open alternative to Ubiquiti UniFi?
A quick search brought up https://github.com/berlin-open-wireless-lab/DAWN on the first glance it looks more like hackers-hand-on than run-and-deploy :D

Force 5Ghz capable clients into 5Ghz automatically?
AFAIK this is what DAWN is for: https://github.com/berlin-open-wireless-lab/DAWN
- Use multiple Pi 4s to allow roaming across APs (see comments)
