MESH NETWORK .. what is it ?
Mesh routers are devices that create a mesh Wi-Fi network, which is a type of network topology that uses multiple nodes to distribute wireless signals more evenly and reliably over a large area. Mesh routers have some features that make them different from traditional routers, such as:
Easy network management:
Streamlined connections:
Mesh routers use a single network name (SSID) and password for all the nodes, so you don’t have to switch between different networks as you move around your home. The mesh routers can also automatically connect you to the best node based on your location and signal strength, ensuring a seamless and fast Wi-Fi experience
Modular and scalable:
Mesh routers are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your needs. You can start with a basic kit that includes one router and one or two nodes, and then add more nodes as you need them. You can also mix and match different models and brands of mesh routers, as long as they support the same Wi-Fi standard and protocol.
Wi-Fi 6 support:
Wi-Fi 6 is the latest wireless standard that offers faster speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity than previous standards. Some mesh routers support Wi-Fi 6, which means they can deliver better performance and handle more devices on your network. Wi-Fi 6 also improves the battery life of your devices by reducing the power consumption of Wi-Fi transmissions.
Wi-Fi 6E support:
Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of Wi-Fi 6 that uses a new frequency band (6 GHz) that is less congested and interference-free than the existing bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Some mesh routers support Wi-Fi 6E, which means they can offer even faster speeds, lower latency, and higher capacity than Wi-Fi 6.
However, Wi-Fi 6E requires compatible devices to take advantage of its benefits43
These are some of the features that mesh routers offer to improve your home Wi-Fi network.
