Home / Home Internet / Mesh Wi-Fi
Whole home Wi-Fi.
No dead zones.
Mesh Wi-Fi is a whole home Wi-Fi system built to eliminate dead zones and to provide uninterrupted Wi-Fi throughout your home. Mesh systems enables devices in your network to have faster speeds, greater coverage, and a more reliable connection. While traditional routers broadcast Wi-Fi from a single point, mesh Wi-Fi systems have multiple access points.
When one unit links to the modem that unit becomes the main hub. The other units (called “nodes”) will capture and rebroadcast the routers signal. The result is an efficient wireless network that provides a strong signal no matter where you are.
Hardware chosen to match the system behind it.
Mesh Wi-Fi is built for people who live in homes with weak or incomplete Wi-Fi coverage, as well as people who want an uncomplicated, easy to set up Wi-Fi system.
Because traditional routers have a limited range, they are often unable to fully cover multi-storey or large homes.
Large or unusual homes
If your home is around 3,000 sq ft, has two storeys or more, interior brick walls or an unusual layout, you would benefit from a mesh Wi-Fi router.
People who do not want the setup hassle
A great option for anyone who wants a powerful Wi-Fi system without the complicated setup and configuration most routers come with.
Anyone tired of switching networks
Since mesh operates on a single network, it suits people who own range extenders and do not want to switch networks moving upstairs or downstairs.
Key Benefits of Mesh Wi-Fi
Traditional routers come with a limited range. While adding a range extender can help with this issue, rang extenders sacrifice speed for connectivity. Mesh Wi-Fi gives you the best of both worlds- so you can experience both powerful speeds and long range connectivity.
Future Proof Business Continuity
Your business will continue to run smoothly with a steady internet service. Sales won’t be affected in turn not affecting your businesses bottom line.
Stable Long Range Connectivity
With a Mesh Wi-Fi router, you can get a powerful and stable connection no matter where you are in your home. Because each mesh node piggybacks off the other nodes signal, you can get powerful Wi-Fi whether you’re at the top of the stairs of the bottom of the basement.
Easy Setup & Management
Most mesh routers on the market today come with easy network setup and management, allowing you to toggle network settings, check speeds and enact parental controls.
Control your smart home
Some mesh routers are so advanced that they function as a Wi-Fi router and a smart hub, connecting your Zigbee, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices and enabling you to manage all your smart devices through the Deco App.
How does mesh wi-fi work?
Mesh Wi-Fi works by using two or more mesh Wi-Fi devices or ‘nodes’ to create a mesh Wi-Fi network. One node is connected to an internet modem, while the rest can be placed throughout your home to create a powerful wireless network. Unlike traditional routers here nodes are all part of the same network and share the same SSID and password. This makes setting and scaling up your mesh network as easy as adding another node.
These nodes are important in efficiently delivering Wi-Fi as each node serves as a “daisy chain” for other nodes in the system. even nodes that are furthest from the router can still deliver a strong signal. Nodes communicate with one another in order to determine the fastest band for your devices and to reroute traffic in the event that one node fails.
They look similar. They are not.
While mesh Wi-Fi and range extenders might appear to have the same functionality, there are some key differences.
Mesh keeps you on one network
Mesh devices come with roaming protocols to keep you on the same network, plus technologies such as self-healing and adaptive routing to keep the network stable.
Extenders create separate networks
Range extenders are set up under different networks. With mesh there are no other networks to worry about.
Each mesh node is a router in its own right
Range extenders merely duplicate the router’s original signal.
Mesh is faster and more efficient
At delivering a Wi-Fi signal than a range extender.
