It doesn't support Gigabit and it doesn't support 5GHz, but it is really an interesting device and can usually just be dropped into place with minimal effort or wiring.
Some friends of mine who are currently unemployable (oil and gas) are modernizing some cabins their family owns and have installed these to replace the old setup that was basically all the cabins on the same subnet behind an Apple Airport Extreme or with a double-NAT if a wireless router was installed. Now each cabin will be on it's own VLAN with it's own SSID. They're also adding Polycom VOIP phones.
The cabins were built in the early 90's and had been a word-of-mouth and invitation only operation, but there are only a handful of the original families still using them. They're now thinking airbnb or selling out as a turn-key modern operation since airbnb is putting those in high demand with investors.
Yeah, the in-walls are neat. They're also 802.11n only, if that matters. And from what I understand, they are only good for coverage in basically the room that they're installed in - especially if they're installed in a metal junction box.
Also, they don't support the full 802.3af/at power over ethernet spec. To be specific, they only support PoE via the "Alternative A" method, not "Alternative B". So they'll only work with Alternative A switches.
