+The role **ext** is used when one wants to distribute a network of another router via the Freifunk router. 
+
+This can be done by extending it through the ports of the Freifunk router
+
+```yml
+# from ska95.yml
+- vid: 41 # Private LAN where private Internet is connected 
+  role: ext 
+  name: private 
+  untagged: true 
+```
+
+OR by redistributing the network through it's own SSID via the Freifunk router using a custom wireless profile
+
+```yml
+# from hts4.yml
+wireless_profile: hts4
+
+# ...
+
+# Private home network without filtering and isolation 
+ - vid: 41

 The VLAN ID (vid) usually follow this numbering convention. They should be sorted in ascending order in the file.
