Connectivity Guide
Mesh Wi-Fi is the easiest way to fix dead zones and keep every room connected. This beginner-friendly guide compares mesh systems vs single routers and highlights four picks for different home sizes and budgets.
A mesh Wi-Fi system uses two or more devices to spread Wi-Fi across your home. Each unit works together to create one network, so your connection stays strong as you move between rooms.
| Feature | Single Router | Mesh Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Strong near the router | Even coverage across rooms |
| Dead zones | More likely | Much less likely |
| Expansion | Limited | Add extra units easily |

Is mesh Wi-Fi better than a single router?
Yes for most larger homes or setups with dead zones. Mesh spreads coverage more evenly.
Do I need multiple mesh units?
Usually yes. A 2-pack is enough for many homes; larger spaces may need 3 or more.
Will mesh Wi-Fi fix slow internet?
Mesh improves Wi-Fi coverage, but it can’t make a slow internet plan faster.
