So I'm looking at the Netgear RAX5 which is about $90. Based on the internal photos (https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/PY322100561/6162693) it has u.fl antenna connectors and the following hardware:
CPU - mt7621at - 880mhz dual core
2.4ghz AX wifi - mt7975dn
5.8ghz AX wifi - mt7915dan
RAM 512MB DDR3 - esmt m15t4g16256a
NAND FLASH 256MB - mxic mx30lf2g28ad-ti
a 4 pin header that may be serial or jtag.
Assuming my work & time is free and I already have a serial tll (and I can actually do it) is it worth the effort at this price point, or there are better packages already supported (at this price point - sub $90)
