What is Mesh Wi-Fi?

Having fast and reliable Wi-Fi coverage no matter where you are in your home is now possible thanks to mesh Wi-Fi. Mesh W-Fi is a whole home system created to provide uninterrupted Wi-Fi access throughout your home.

Mesh solves Wi-Fi problems by improving coverage, speeding up your wireless connection, and eliminating configuration fuss. Mesh networks provide more data capacity and throughput than a single Wi-Fi gateway can provide, and it also prevents internet dead spots in your home.

What is Traditional Wi-Fi?

Traditional Wi-Fi systems consist of a single Wi-Fi broadcasting router. It is usually enough to provide the whole house with the internet connection, but users quite often experience problems such as dead spots or weak signal in certain areas. Obstructions such as walls, doors and other objects may weaken the signal within the house. Traditional routers come with a limited range. Using extenders may help with this issue, but it typically means trading off speed for connectivity quality.

How is Mesh Wi-Fi Different?

Mesh Wi-Fi offers you both powerful speeds and long-range connectivity. A mesh network consists of a main router connected directly to a modem, and a series of nodes placed around the house for full Wi-Fi coverage. The nodes are parts of a single wireless network, sharing the same network SSID and password.

One Network for the Whole House

Mesh Wi-Fi routers allow you to stay connected to a single network no matter where you are. Mesh technology is smart and intuitive, letting you stay online even if one of the nodes in the network fails.

Easy Setup and Configuration

Most mesh routers available on the market come with an easy management interface, allowing you to avoid the whole configuration fuss. Wi-Fi Mesh network starter kits from Google, BT, Amazon and other providers make creating a large network simple and usually don’t involve very many cables.

Better Connectivity

A mesh router provides you with a powerful and stable connection no matter where you are in your home. It will work perfectly in the attic and in the basement. What is more, a mesh WiFi system will have no problem with providing high quality internet access to all devices like phones, computers, or TVs used in your home. With multiple mesh nodes, all family members can easily connect more devices simultaneously without slowing down other devices on the network.
