Has anyone considered the cable run lengths with distributed layouts? I'm finding on my boat that spreading things out adds complexity with voltage drop — particularly between battery bank and...

Has anyone actually solved the WiFi resilience angle properly? @HeatherWalker's point about the router dying during a blackout is exactly what's keeping me from committing to this on the boat.
