When I started in wireless ~14 years ago, I bought a pair of Aeronet ARLAN 860kbit, 900mhz APs on eBay (630 model), desolded the flash chips, put on firmware for the 640 model to turn them into bridge units, and re-installed the chips in sockets.
Those things were so basic and slow - couldn't even show signal level - but it was very interesting learning what they could do.
