I think that is the one she read about in Consumer Reports. All I saw
with some googling was a lot glowing advertising stuff. So then it
appears the units have to be located so that there is a clear 5GHz radio
path between them, that could work, but not what I hoped for.
Thanks for the response, Bob

I think 5GHz will go thru ordinary plasterboard walls to a limited
extent. You need to put the base unit fairly high up, so that it has as
much clear air as possible between it and the satellites--i.e., it
should not have to go thru a bookcase or a dresser to get to a
satellite! As usual, ymmv, and some experimentation may help. Try and
keep the base close to the center of the areas you want to put the
satellites in as possible.
