[Elecraft] K4 Remote Question

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

Just be judicious in the use of wifi extenders, they are half duplex and 
since they share the same channel of wifi, cause conflicts, which drags 
down the entire network. Some can be configured to hear on one band and 
transmit on another, which helps, a little.

My answer was to replace the network with a mesh net, then connecting 
devices into the nodes directly as needed. That is MUCH more efficient 
and the LAN speed shot back up to where it should be.
