I prefer a rectangular metal box. It's even better if it can be mounted in a mini rack.
Unfortunately metal boxes are pretty good at keeping the wifi in. Those antenna arrays aren't just for show. I prefer thin, featureless wall/ceiling mountable panels :)
I use separate WiFi access points. A single access point built into a router doesn't cover a very large area if you want high speed on 5 or 6 GHz.
