Why would anyone buy the cAP ax? (feddit.org)

I mean the wAP ax is cheaper and offers faster wifi, plus it's waterproof so you can use it outdoors. One advantage of the cAP ax is a faster cpu and more RAM, but if you need a complex firewall or VPN, a dedicated server makes more sense I guess.

Tbf the cAP has two Ethernets and PoE out so you can Daisy chain them. But is that all or am I missing something?

That's a fair question. It probably just comes down to:

Form factor
Needing extra RAM to help support more clients

I hadn't checked the specs till you brought it up, the WAP AX is pretty neat! One advantage I see is that CAP AX is omnidirectional, but that's about it, that and what you mentioned as well
