Netgear team,
Please release a tri-band (3 radio) WiFi extender. I think such a product would be super useful especially with the availability of your tri-band routers.
Here is what I'm thinking of doing if you guys do release a tri-band extender:
Tri-band Router with 3 SSIDs (1 for 2.4GHz, 1 on 5GHz band-A broadcasted, 1 on 5GHz band-B hidden (used for Fastlane))
Tri-band Extender with Fastlane: 1 for 2.4GHz, 1 on 5GHz band-C broadcasted, remaining band(radio) to pair with the 5GHz onband-B for Fastlane
This way, I have a dedicated radio to extend the WiFi in my house for optimal speed and be able to serve 2.4GHz and 5GHz to clients on router and extender! :-)

On today's tri-band router's you can set the second 5ghz with no ssid how would the extender see the second 5ghz if ssid was turnoff at the router what would it use to lock on the router. A link would have to be form between the router and extender to tell the extender about the hidden ssid.
