Whole Home Wi-Fi: How Mesh Wi-Fi Eliminates Dead Zones
Whether you work from home, enjoy streaming movies when you’re off work or prefer gaming, Wi-Fi dead zones can be frustrating. Let’s delve into how mesh Wi-Fi can help prevent dead zones in your home so you can get back to work or relax this spring and summer.
The Benefits of Mesh Wi-Fi
Having uninterrupted Wi-Fi is critical when working from home, gaming, video streaming and using smart home devices. However, in today’s day and age, dead zones in houses are more than a nuisance, they’re downright frustrating. If your home suffers from a dead zone, you may want to consider forgoing the single router choice and adding a mesh Wi-Fi router to your home.
A mesh Wi-Fi router has multiple “nodes” installed throughout your home. Essentially, one node will be the primary router, directly connecting to the wireless gateway or internet modem. The other nodes share the Wi-Fi signal, giving you broader coverage throughout your home. Additionally, mesh Wi-Fi networks are designed to communicate with one another and will automatically self-diagnose and correct any potential latency issues.
Here are four benefits of adding a mesh Wi-Fi network to your home.
- Easy to Install – Mesh Wi-Fi is quick and easy to install. Setup requires plugging nodes directly into power and using a mobile app to connect your network. The most significant decision you’ll make is where to install the primary node, but we recommend near an existing router or cable modem.
- Prevents Downtime – Because mesh Wi-Fi networks communicate via the nodes, they help prevent downtime. If one node isn’t receiving a strong signal, the network will automatically pivot and locate another node that is receiving a strong signal.
- Scalability– Mesh Wi-Fi networks offer convenient and easy scalability as nodes are easy to move around the home. You can also add more nodes to the network if there are dead spots in the home.
- Ideal for Multiple Devices – Under traditional Wi-Fi networks, every device connects to the main router, which can cause slow bandwidth and latency issues. However, mesh Wi-Fi networks direct devices to the closest node, providing the best connection possible.
