What we *really* want, and would buy a *lot* of is an indoor router with PoE OUTPUT (or passthru, whatever you want to call it). i.e. a RB750 inside the home, with integrated wireless (802.11g, standard power is fine), 4-port switch, standard DC input. But, here's the wishful part! On the WAN port, it'd pass-thru whatever voltage it was getting input on the DC input plug. That means we could install a managed-router for the customer, and use only a single wall-wart power supply. I'm sure if MT came out with something like this the PoE pass-thru port would be software controllable, and probably watchdog'able. So if the antenna outside locked up, lost connectivity, whatever--the inside router could powercycle it. We could care less about a web interface. We'd provide these as a managed service to the customer, they'd never login to it anyway. If something like this came along, we'd install one at every single install and require the customer use it.
