[Hidden-tech] Recommendations for wi-fi extender?

[David Korpiewski]

I recently set up the TP-LInk Deco Mesh wifi system at a church and 
found it worked fantastic.  It has a far reach and really enhances the 
speed of the wifi across the entire building.  I got compliments on the 
speed of the system as well.  I think these new mesh networks for home 
use are really going to change the quality of the wifi.

best,

David
