Ya, but the other thing is that setting up WDS (wireless distribution - basically range extension) with Apple gear is DEAD, DEAD simple. The basement suiters could buy an Airport express, and extend the range of the 5ghz network in about 5 minutes.
This would give them a strong signal in the basement for devices, and a good performing uplink to the master router.
Edit: If required. I'm not suggesting that the signal will be weak, it might be fine, and likely will be.
