Kaill-a-watts are great little devices....

If you can find a cast-off Nomadix HotSpot gateway, you can save a lot of power and get something more speedy at the same time.  It's a custom-labelled Portwell NAD-2050; if you can find one they're neat.  Lot less than 70 watts; closer to 10 or 20.  Three or five 10/100 ethernet ports, and other options, in a box that's 1 RU high, but smaller than rack width.
