   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.
