[Make-wifi-fast] AREDN and Make Wifi Fast

[Trevor Paskett]

Thanks for the info, we will test these changes in our lab.

With wifi are you using fq_codel alone or with htb? If with htb how are you determining the rates to use?

If you could share the tc / iptables commands you are using in the yurtlab that would help alot.
