I was ignorant of them until just now when I asked google.
I too want a combined AP + solar + battery solution.

I bought one "car wifi" device from aliexpress, and while it claimed it took
12V in, it was in fact intolerant (blue smoke) of the typical 13.6V that
most car systems run at when unloaded.  Seems dumb to regulate to 12V just
so that the unit can regulate again to 3.3V/5V...   I haven't dared to try
a netgear 3800 yet.
