not really necessary in my case

Getting tired of this... Your use case is YOUR use case. The OP may have different use case. Thanks for sharing though.

Swapped ok (with a couple of glitches).
Considerably more power consumption (2 to 2 1/2 X) and the resulting heat with the Netgear over the TP Link which is why I mount these vertically with 'spacer feet' to increase air flow from the bottom of the enclosure.
