Oh, I see... Much much better.

Refurb'd ITX chassis machines use about 8W and can be had for $40.
Another $20 for a weather proof enclosure... and those ITX machines
typically can run on what POE can provides... and Antennas aren't that
much. Plus I could ssh into the thing and update/fix it with more
convenience.

I see... AirOS truly much better, plus you get the bricking and complete
documentation for free free. What a deal.

No, now I'm getting into sarcasm.
