Here I have a couple of defective enterprise grade access points that were decommissioned as they were suspected as faulty and were out of warranty. They are manufactured by Xirrus and are meant for outdoor high capacity Wi-Fi for public locations e.g. Stadiums, festivals etc. I thought I’d pull one apart and see what was inside before they were sent for scrap so I will share some photos here and give brief descriptions on what each major chip is and what it does.
I did a video below of the teardown but there is no narration. It’s good enough to get the point across but after all this is just an access point but a very expensive, enterprise grade one costing several hundred dollars.
