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

[Tom Kopec]

I would definitely look toward mesh.

The house down here in FL is cinderblock construction, and WiFi does not 
penetrate. I played around with range extenders (netgear and TPlink) 
(and still have two in use for a guest network extender), but they ended 
up being a pain PARTICULARLY if you use the "Same SSID" feature. That 
just totally screws up handoffs.

I'm currently running Asus AIMesh (mostly because I use Asus routers). 
Works perfectly. I use "wired backhaul" (the nodes exchange data over 
cat5 and not over the air) and that just flies (though they will do 
over-the-air if you aren't wired, and that is generally fine as well).
