Also, I want to acknowledge that Eldo was correct about the W1700K
availability on ebay. I had not been watching it as closely there
recently. I do see some for ~$60. I had mentioned seeing some from the
Bezoid for around $80.

Be cautious, though, about devices that come without their OEM power
supply (the chonky white wall wart)., which provides 5A 12V. I can
tell you from experience that even 2A is NOT SUFFICIENT. It will brown
out and reboot under any kind of network load. 5A 12V power supplies
are not very common, so if you think you are going to "just find one",
do your research first and know what you are getting into.
