Yeah, not wrong, is kind of annoying, but is also cool. SOS2 has always been a special mod in rimworld, great concept but long gaps between breaking updates and fixes. I totally get it too, the scope on SOS2 is kinda crazy for a mod, it's a lot. If you were going to replicate a rimworld mod as DLC, I can't imagine a better one to pick.
I do wonder how the SOS2 team is reacting. I hope they take the opportunity to scale back on some of the pieces they have to maintain and try to bring some of the stuff that doesn't make it into the official DLC into the newer versions.
There are options out there to utilize multiple wifi networks at the same time, you probably wouldn't have what you need to get a fancy 'similar to enterprise level' solution going, but there are a bunch out there with the goal of using multiple networks purely for speed.
