    I'm a fan of the tri-band extenders. the problem with standard extenders is that they have to receive and restransmit on the same chip. This cuts throughput (speed) roughly in half and increases latency. the tribands mitigate this by reserving 1 of the bands just for router-extender communication. You still take a speed/latency but its much less.
