I hate to be a PITA, but why do you need PoE for wireless cameras?
Only wired cameras use PoE. Were you planning on using wireless power
to run the cameras? If so, rectifying the few milliwatts produced by
the WRT54G is not going to run the pilot light, much less the whole
camera. Also NAS (network attached storage) drives don't use PoE as
they require much more horsepower. So, what are you going to run with
PoE?
