I'm thinking about upgrading my W-Fi and I was curious what wireless access points (WAP) people are using. I'm currently using a Netgear R7800 running OpenWRT.

EAP-615

In my opinion look much nicer in a home compared to ceiling mounts. I also run TP-Link Omada router and switches and selfhost the controller.

Get yourself some old cisco 3600 re-flash it with standalone firmware and get enterprise class WAP for cheap.

That one seems to be WiFi 4 (and upgradable to WiFi 5) so probably not a good choice for someone with a half decent internet connection.

I bought a Grandstream GWN7660 last year and it seems pretty good, it replaced a ubiquity WAP that I still have legacy devices connected to.

I use a cudy wr3000. Great value for the price and features official openwrt support.

Some TP-Link thing I got as a hand me down... It's AP enough

Been happy with unifi stuff for a long time now.

I use the tp-link EAP615 wall Apps, they are great and run OpenWRT like a champ.

I'm using 3 cheap routers that I bought used. They are all running openwrt and I have set up Dawn so that devices automatically switch to the best one. Wireless speed isn't as important to me as coverage and this allowed me to cover my entire house and allow access to high speed ethernet from multiple different locations.

which ones?

Just lookup cheap devices that you can purchase in your area and check here to see if it's supported.
