Sorry, audio sucked a bit and I'm not mother-tongue english.
Actually, talk didn't seem too technical so I fast forwarded a lot.

I noticed this hardware too. But including shipping they are way too 
expensive and I'll have to add an access point.

Still it is nice to see it can handle nearly as much traffic as a direct 
connection.
I haven't had time to listen what was the actual iptables setup for the 
benchmark. If he was just moving stuff from one interface to the other 
or if he was doing NAT.

My use case would be a 1Gbits downstream/200Mbits upstream connection 
for *home* use where most of the times there will be just 1 concurrent 
wired user and possibly 2 active wireless users.

A netgear R6250 still seems a more reasonable solution unless I've a 
chance to put my hands on something cheaper.

I can't still understand the price segmentation of the market.
