Yeah, it's that consumer label that confuses me. Like, I doubt too many businesses are buying $54 USD Netgear WAPs, and their language specifically included SoHo stuff iirc.

I'm curious about standalone WAPs, not existing all-in-ones put into WAP mode. I'm guessing they just don't fall under the "consumer" umbrella even though they are pretty cheap (this netgear is $54 USD on amazon)
Did anybody ever confirm if standalone wireless access points are subject to this weird FCC ban thing? Because, like, you can make your own router out of an old computer.
Imagine you're riding up a steep hill, and you've already been working super hard, and you're sweating and you're tired. What do you do when you're tired? You want to rest. You go to sit down it pushes you right back up into your workout.
ohh is that supposed to be zelda? all i see is a big ostrich.
I haven't used TrueNAS but from what I'm reading it has an option to import existing pools. If you have spare SSD I would yank your windows drive out of the system and try installing Proxmox on the spare drive first. There's a truenas installation script on that community page I linked in my other post, it says to follow this discussion after it runs. That might be a good starting point.
I hope that barracuda was shucked from a Seagate Expansion lol (that's where I got all of my barracudas).

Edit: Also yeah you should be able to dual-boot but I wouldn't recommend it. Linux and Windows bootloaders don't like to play nice with eachother.
2nd Edit: Added the official PVE Hyper-V migration documentation, but that blog covers it in more detail.
3rd Edit: It looks like there are some important caveats when virtualizing TrueNAS, which I assume you're familiar with since you have it virtualized already but I wanted to add the TrueNAS virtualization guide just in case. https://www.truenas.com/blog/yes-you-can-virtualize-freenas/
You should be able to migrate most or all of your existing Hyper-V VMs to Proxmox, which would be relatively straight forward. My recommendation would be backing up everything to your TrueNAS (that has the dedicated HBA) then you can wipe your Windows boot drive and install Proxmox. Then you could start by migrating your TrueNAS VM over and passing it's HBA back to it.
Once you have your NAS working in PVE then you could either migrate/rebuild your other VMs, or look into splitting your services into containers (Proxmox uses LXC natively, but Docker is another option.) There are some great helper scripts to get services spun up quickly so you can minimize downtime.
You didn't mention how much, if any, experience you have with PVE/Debian and I know from a friend recently switching that some things are a bit more "difficult" than TrueNAS so hit me up if you need anything. The PVE admin documents will be helpful as well.

Naw he's just the ElectroBOOM of computers. Intentionally does shit wrong to show people how not to do things.
