[FRIAM] wifi repeaters?!

[Steven A Smith]

I have a handful of MeshPotato <https://villagetelco.org/mesh-potato/>
s  that I am currently not using.  They are designed to be cheap,
robust, and potentially solar-powered... they are now out-of-production
and somewhat old but still viable tech.

Some of the places I was testing them, I replaced with powerline wifi
extenders... to extend wifi among buildings on rural properties with
common mains (farms)...   For any more distributed home/homestead on the
grid (or even a self-contained solar/110 homestead) this can be a good
option.
