I saw that earlier in the thread but that seemed like bullshit where
they manually tried to boost the power to the wifi chip, maybe removing
a resistor somewhere or otherwise cranking up the voltage, I don't know.
Don't do that, obviously.

Bandwidth will be the issue, wifi up & down on all channels (uplink,
clients) going over 1 shared USB2 connection, including storage traffic
if you want something a little more reliable than an sd card. Maybe you
figured out it will suffice in your situation but I fear for the
practical result.

Of course, putting this all together won't be a one time job, you'll
have to maintain it and that would ultimately put me off; you're just
shifting the work to a dead end.

Fine for a "can it be done" hobby project.
