You don't need a router for it; you can do it via an access point. Something like a HP MSM430 or something from Aruba should do, and you can find them for good prices on Ebay. You'll need something to power it, like a POE injector or a POE switch connected to a portable power station or to an inverter connected to a car maybe. And this is cheap enough to experiment with. > > The background: I want to stream video from my drone using RTMP to my > notebook. > > This is already possible, when i am using a router.
