[ale] Wifi extenders?

[Alex Carver]

What band are you using now for your WiFi?  2.4GHz or 5GHz?

The mesh devices will try to pick something that works but it will
depend on your end devices, too.  The normal extenders tend to slow
things down a lot especially with more than one.

Any chance you can run a cable to service additional access points?
