Possibly stating the obvious, but make sure all your access points are on different wifi channels. Also I know Unifi have a minimum RSSI setting that kicks off clients to a better AP when signal strength gets low. Maybe OpenWRT has a simila

Thanks, looks like I've already starred this project on github, but I can't remember why I'm not using it... I think maybe the auth token expires every few weeks and you need some manual intervention to get it working again.

USB-C (Type C) is just the connector type which you can work around with adapters. I guess you're looking for USB-3, but I don't think it should matter if the KVM ports are Type A or Type C.

It's probably because of the low volume. They've only sold 30 so far, and the R&D costs need to be recovered.

It will depend on what you're using it for. I use Azure Archive storage for last resort backups. Will be reasonably expensive if I ever need to restore the data, but until then it's £0.00135 per GB per month.
