There are a couple of ways of approaching this depending on your point-of-view.

Darren would install the entire AP into a slotted waveguide and use that
as an enormous ventilated heatsink.

Vak would run Liquid Nitrogen over Ethernet (LNoE) using specially
reinforced and insulated CAT-5 cable containing glass fibre capillary
tubes terminated with blue anodized aerospace connectors.

Clae would install a peltier effect cooling module from Oatley
Electronics powered by an array of ex-Telstra solar panels suspended
from a balloon filled with hydrogen created by electrolysis from a
converted Kombi alternator that doubles as an arc welder.

Tony would point out that your cooling problems are trivial compared to
those that hams fans running ATV in the same part of the band who could
wipe your signal out any time they wanted too.

Rick would have a BBQ and pour beer over it.
