Turnigy & Flysky used to use the A7105 chipset from AMICCOM. They had great reception, channel hopping and interference suppression. (Easier to interface to, too) Also cheap, no idea how easy/hard it is to buy one with a high-power output stage.

Great project, kudos to you. The 'rents are fortunate to have you.
I did similar, helping a friend gather data from a bunch of IoT controllers (Temp, relays and switches), all to a syslog server console program in C#. The temp sensors are one wire bus sensors, wired to the controllers.
Uses UDP, which risks losing a packet here and there but nothing is mission critical. I doubt that anything Windows, or most Linux distros, are real time anyway.
So far, not a problem. An interesting (to me) wrinkle: I am now rewriting same using a Raspberry Pi, running Blazor (hosting the syslog server). That way, anyone on the LAN can connect via browser. Work in progress.
Arduino's are fun, worked with grandson a few years ago, built a 3 wheel robot of sorts. Another back burner project is a kiln temp controller with the arduino.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The idea of a wifi repeater is a good one. I think you are doing it in a bit more specialized way than I probably would. There are generic ones that have just an RJ45 input plug. Using one of those should eliminate the need for specialized software and make it look like it sat on the other end of a Cat5 cable. That would be the hope anyway.

Communicating with the arduino over ethernet is about the same as making it communicate over wifi in terms of wiring it up** and coding it.
**assuming it's not built in - mine isn't.

I see. Best of luck with it.

Congratulations on actually getting the wifi working!

Thanks but I haven't gotten the wifi working all the way through just yet - still waiting for my arduino with integrated wifi to arrive in the mail - should be here tomorrow. I have all the code to flash to it when it gets here though. And I have the PC end of things sorted like i said. So I'm really close.

I'll get there but at the very least I want it to be a proof of concept. We still need some outdoor wifi repeaters to install it on its final location but right now I'm just getting the stuff to talk to each other.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go
Why don't you try the covid task
Puttin' on the mask
Different types of wear all day, coats with sass
Well hydrated and sipping Plaquenil filled flasks
Puttin' on the mask
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper!
Come lets mix where Rockerfellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas as you multitask,

The mexican sort or the Dutch original?

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No, this 404 is not Page Not Found...
During lunch I was playing a demo of the game, Pikman, on my Nintendo Switch.
The story goes that the spaceship crashes on PNF-404.
Here's the snapshot that I took[^] of my TV that shows the game.
Geeky programmer humor directly in the game.

If they were equivalent to the originals, I'd go for that. I've got plenty of parts that need replacing.

If the taste, texture, and nutritional value is identical, why would you care?
