[ale] Wifi extenders?

[Preston]

Absolutely this. I've been using these for several projects and I've had
excellent results.

The 1960's house I live in has some patched up wiring from several
expansions. I get speed that is close to router port fast from my
powerline adapters.

My go-to is currently the TP-Link AV600 starter kit. It gets me dual
ethernet and WiFi.

For about $60 it's difficult to go wrong.
