Modems & Routers

Lots of dead spots? Mesh is for you

We rely on Wi-Fi for a lot of things these days, but it’s frustrating when one or more parts of your house has bad Wi-Fi or simply doesn’t reach it. Traditionally, people would turn to a stronger router, use an access point or use a range extender. However, these later solutions require you to connect to a different Wi-Fi network each time you move in-between those range extenders and access points. However, there’s a new solution on the market which are known as mesh Wi-Fi routers. Mesh Wi-Fi routers allow you to connect a series of nodes to your network, wire-free to give you one big Wi-Fi connection around the house, so you’ll no longer need to switch between networks. You can also continuously add more and more nodes to increase the Wi-Fi signal further if you wish. You can find out more on mesh routers by clicking here.
