What kind of AP would consume 20W? Mine consumes around 5W and that includes
a 2TB disk attached to it (and spinning).

Where do you get those numbers? In my world, if it dies on you before
5 years, then it was just a really bad quality AP.
The point about reliability and lack of configuration of a dumb switch is
well taken, tho.
