Thought I'd let you know that I took the advice about using an access
point. I bought a UniFi AC-AP LR although the controller wont run on
Fedora 23. However the UniFi app does easily set up the AP. It took 10
minutes after having unpacked it and with the TX power on high it
knocks through all the obstacles.

Never say never! I actually created an RPM from their linux zip file that I used on my F22 box and now CentOS 7. It's not eligible for fedora because much of it is prebuilt and I can't submit it to RPM Fusion non-free because there's no clear licensing, but it does work although it is missing a few features over the windows version.

I even emailed them about the licensing but they seem to have gotten confused since you can use it for "free". I gave up after that.

You can use their zip file directly, I just packaged it because I package everything I install and to tweak some install locations to be more FHS compliant. 

Thanks,
Richard
