[RE-wrenches] Enphase and Quantum Fiber

[Jason Szumlanski]

This is a good answer. You could also use an extender that can connect to a
5GHz band and broadcast a 2.4GHz band to relay the Wi-Fi signal for the
Gateway. Also, make sure the SSID and password don't have any
punctuation characters. Enphase Gateways don't like certain ones, like
ampersands and hashtags.
