Since the homenet I envision would have AP(s) and then perhaps some other 
routers who would be in client mode towards this AP, a valid test of the 
metric setting features would be to have two wifi networks, one 2.4GHz, 
one 5Ghz, two different L2s, different IP networks, and then walk around 
with two clients connected together with a network cable, and check if the 
routing would change from the 5GHz network to the 2.4GHz network as 
distance from the AP increases and the 5GHz network stops working.

So since we have different opinions on what a homenet looks like, does 
anyone believe that this test is worthless, or does it at least give some 
valuable data?
