A mesh network can provide full coverage throughout your home by using multiple interconnected devices, known as "nodes" or "points," to create a seamless Wi-Fi network. Instead of relying on a single router, a mesh network distributes the wireless signal across several nodes placed in different parts of your home. Here's how it works:

 

1. Multiple Nodes: In a mesh network, each node communicates with others to form a network. You place these nodes strategically around your house to eliminate dead spots. For example, one node could be near the main router, another in the living room, and another upstairs.

 

2. Seamless Connectivity: Unlike Wi-Fi extenders, which create separate networks that devices need to switch between, a mesh network creates a single network name (SSID) for all nodes. Your devices connect to the strongest node automatically as you move through the house without dropping the connection.

 

3. Self-Healing Network: If one node fails or has poor connectivity, the system automatically reroutes data through other nodes to maintain a stable connection. This ensures that the network remains operational even if one part of the network experiences issues.

 

4. Optimized Signal: The system dynamically adjusts the performance and ensures devices are connected to the node with the best signal. This improves speed, reduces lag, and offers more reliable Wi-Fi. 5. Scalability: You can add more nodes if you move to a larger space or discover areas that need better coverage.
