What Is a Mesh WiFi System
A mesh system uses two or more devices (nodes) to blanket your entire home with WiFi.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Central Node | Connects to your modem (like a normal router) |
Satellite Nodes | Placed around your home to extend the signal |
Seamless Roaming | Your phone or laptop auto-connects to the best signal as you move |
Single Network Name | All nodes share one SSID so you don’t need to switch manually |
