FWIW: Those 350s were provided after a similar bad experience specifically so there would be consistent and stable equipment available. The fact that they are considered 'emergency' at this point shows that in fact people do expect new features from the equipment
On the contrary, I think it reflects the realization that a dozen AP's is not enough to provide service for O(1000) people over a dozen meeting rooms plus lobbies, bars, restaurants, etc. Had the volunteers who built the network been unable to get wireless hardware in time, they could have broken out the emergency AP's and provided worse coverage to fewer areas than we had last week. It would have been better than nothing, but it would _not_ have been better than what we got. And you'd still all be whining.
