Mesh Wi-Fi Systems for Lightning Fast Internet

 

Struggling with Wi-Fi dead spots in your home or office? Did you know that architectural features within your property can interfere with the router? Even a filing cabinet could be the culprit! You could move your router or use a network extender, or you might need to rethink your network entirely.

Enter the Mesh

The best mesh Wi-Fi systems are able to fill your entire home and even your backyard with a strong Wi-Fi signal. By upgrading to one, you won’t have to worry about Wi-Fi dead zones

The Wi-Fi service you get in your home or office is dependent on a few things. First up, the level of service that your home can access. If fiber optic internet isn’t available in your property, you’re never going to be able to get the fastest speeds possible. It’s also worth bearing in mind that bandwidth will be shared amongst the devices using the network. If you’ve got two avid gamers and a YouTuber all trying to use your internet at the same time, that’s going to slow things down.

The benefit

Then there’s the distribution. If your Wi-Fi signal is interrupted, you can move a router or add in an extender. However. extenders create a separate network, so you can sometimes get a drop in signal as you move from one part of the property and one network to another. Mesh systems are different in that they form a seamless network, so you get no drop out at all.

Mesh networks use multiple satellites or nodes to broadcast the Wi-Fi network. Only one of the nodes needs to be attached to a wired internet connection.  Specifically, it broadcasts this connection to other nodes that broadcast it to other nodes, and so on. In theory, there is no limit to the extent of the wireless network you can build. And, if you want to extend it, you simply buy more nodes.

Each node, which has its own ethernet port, gives 2,200 square feet of reach. Scale up according to your needs and ensure fast stable internet access throughout your home for up to 200 devices.

When you’re looking for a mesh network, it’s worth checking a few things. In some packages, there is only one access point that can be the main one and plugged in, while for others, you can pick any of your devices to be the wired one. It’s also worth checking whether all devices come with an ethernet port giving you the option to have a wired connection anywhere in your home. Finally, many can be set up to work with your voice assistant, so if that’s important to you, check that before you buy.  Further, check that all access points have a microphone and speaker, not just the one that can be wired in.
