I'm really hoping to be able to use this.  Wifi is the last buffer-bloated
part of my home network (the latency differences between wired and wireless
are an order of magnitude apart).

And as for multiple STAs per AP:  That's the norm, these days.  My house
might be a bit extreme, but we have 8 STAs in 5GHz, and one lowly printer
in 2.4GHz (which is too far for 5GHz to get to, and I haven't run a cable
to that end of the house yet as I hate crawlspaces).
