I'm looking for portable, compact 10 port router, and came across this device. It looks like it uses the AR9344 CPU, and has the RAM and storage needed to support AREDN firmware.
Could this work as a node on its own?
In my application, I would like to use this as described in this Google Doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bx1qZ2FiJ07NhQiARHdhPuCk7JFHU-SRjtuPQN7VqMU/edit?usp=sharing
If this can be made to work that way, it would really simplify the project I'm working on.

What would be involved in making it work? Would it accept the hap ac firmware, and if so, would the additional ports be automatically available as LAN ports? I wouldn't mind getting a look under the hood at the firmware and seeing if I can help.
I have one of these under my desk that I haven't even plugged in yet. Would you like me to send it to you?

1. Seems to come with an 11 watt Euro style plug power supply. May need to get a suitable USA style PSU.
2. Max total out (A) 510 mA. Only enough pass-through power for 1 RF device.

Thanks for the insights, Chuck. the limitation to 1 pass-through device shouldn't be a problem in my application. The device only specs port 10 as PoE out, anyway.
The RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN is now DISCONTINUED.
Creating AREDN firmware for discontinued hardware is unlikely.
I see no match in hardware so it is unlikely that firmware for a different Mikrotik device would work.
Even if it did boot from other AREDN firmware,
there would likely be no UI to configure a WAN or DtD or VLAN ports or radio.
If you need more than 3 LAN ports, plug a $9 8-port switch into the LAN port of a RB952Ui or RD52G, RD53iG.
If you need more than 9 LAN ports, plug a $20 16-port switch..........
