How to Choose the Right Mesh System
Mesh WiFi systems use two or more nodes placed around your home to create a single seamless network. Unlike WiFi extenders (which cut your speed in half), mesh nodes maintain full speed with intelligent backhaul between units.
What to Look For
- WiFi 6 or newer for modern performance
- Multi-gig Ethernet ports if you have fiber

What to Avoid
