Everyone has been online with a wireless device only to find their signal varies from room to room in their home or office. In many instances, we’ve discovered that some locations are complete dead zones. Even with excellent WiFi hardware, some areas reduce or block signals due to structural issues such as brick walls, heavy electrical wiring, unusual layouts or metal doors. Even with WiFi signal boosters, certain areas where you live and work might be out of reach. It is frustrating to have weak or inconsistent WiFi signals slow everything down.

Whole-Home or Mesh routers are built to efficiently cover large structures of up to 6,000 square feet, with brick or cement walls, two or more stories and unusual floor-plan layouts. These special routers use one or more radio nodes placed strategically throughout your office or home that carry the signal and integrate numerous device endpoints into one strong WiFi connection. A Mesh router is an important and complicated system enhancement. IT experts from a reputable WiFi installation company should be consulted to design the best possible layout to achieve a stable and robust network connection. In addition, there are several advanced features inherent to Whole-Home Networks:

One Network for Your Entire Office or Home – You will need to connect to only one network for your entire space.
Easy Setup and Maintenance – Whole-Home WiFi routers are generally intuitive and prompt the user through the setup process. However, to get the best possible connection, network specialists can help you select the correct hardware and assist you with designing the most effective placement of WiFi devices.
table Long-Range Signals – Move anywhere through your space without dropping the signal.
Better Control of Smart Devices – Mesh routers also act as Smart Device “Hubs” and afford the user significantly better control over all varieties of linked devices.
Seamless Streaming – Whole-Home WiFi can accommodate more than 100 devices streaming at the same time while maintaining signal strength. No one gets “bumped off” the network or is slowed down by a crowded connection.

With the increase in work-from-home, remote access, you probably have more wireless devices spread around your office or home. Unfortunately, WiFi signals from a stand-alone router can only reach so far before the signal begins to degrade. Mesh routers act like “signal dispatchers,” relaying your wireless traffic more efficiently than traditional routers, affording stronger signals at longer distances. In addition, they are designed to stabilize your WiFi signal and allow your network to operate at the highest speeds possible from everywhere in your space.

Whole-home WiFi is more costly than signal-range extenders. Also, the need to purchase multiple satellite devices (nodes), depending on the size of the space to be covered, adds further cost. Larger areas could require three or more devices to even out the WiFi signal. However, as the saying goes, “time is money,” and signal drops and delays are time-consuming and distracting from the focus of whatever you are doing.
