After advice here I'm using 3 PicoStation 100mW units instead. They come with POE injectors so you don't need a POE switch (but have more of a maze of cables in your switch room). > Hard drive size is ample, processing power and ram are plenty.

That wasn't tooo hard to set up and now I can test routing between the XO lan and my home lan. I'm not sure if the wireless NIC is suitable for a WAN connection, but I'm thinking it probably isn't (I couldn't remove the antenna for example).
