I saw this one but it still does not have the same software
functionality from what I can see.

In order to get internet connectivity to this box a physical cable must
be plugged into it.

The wireless portion still seems only as an AP that other devices can
connect to.

Can it communicate SIP via WiFi and output a standard analog dial-tone?
