Daer Christian, I am currently runing 5 devices between 2.4 and 5 GHZ . My garage is forty feet from the house . Chamberlain corp, said I will probably need a wifi hub in order to strengthen the signal to operate the garage door opener . I think this only draws on the present signal strength , so I am thinking either a wifi booster or an extender . I can play music and limited video on my phone or tablet , but the signal drops periodically . I don't need anything complicated , since  I am a disabled vet , I dont have energy every day to reset devices or tinker  with cable . What would you suggest ?

 

Thank You
