Mesh Wi-Fi at home for good work coverage in every room.
One router at the meter cabinet rarely covers the whole house well. A mesh set of 2 or 3 nodes (Eero, Asus ZenWiFi, TP-Link Deco, Ubiquiti UniFi) gives seamless roaming. Wired backhaul beats wireless backhaul.
Try this first
- 1Plan placement: main node at the internet drop, others at 1/3 and 2/3 of the house, not in corners.
- 2Use ethernet backhaul where you can (big speed gain).
- 3Wi-Fi 6 or 6E for laptops that support it, otherwise dual-band Wi-Fi 5 is fine.
- 4Single SSID and password, mesh handles band steering. A separate guest SSID for smart-home is recommended.
When to bring us in
Employee lives in a heritage building with 80 cm thick walls: mesh helps only halfway, an AP per room or a powerline-AP combo is more realistic.
