Rant: That Thursday in Memphis nearly cost me a customer over a faulty wireless sensor

I was doing a final walkthrough on a 12 zone system in a house near Germantown when the back door sensor kept dropping signal, and I spent 3 hours chasing interference from their new wifi extender. Swapped in a hardwired contact and the whole panel passed first try, but it made me wonder if we should all be pushing back harder on wireless for perimeter zones. Anybody else hit a similar wall with RF interference on modern homes?

Wireless sensors are fine, the wifi extender was the real problem there.
