I love my GL.iNet Mini routers, but one issue I have with them is that they are so small that they are hard to mount on a wall.

There are only really 6 or so non-overlapping WiFi channels (2.4GHz and 5 GHz).  Each of the standard channels have at least 5 visible access points. Except the DFS channels, which no one seems to use. So when I boot up MY Airport Express, it lands on Channel 52, where there is literally no competition.  My house gets the
