Products We Recommend
We have installed many MESH networks and the below are the products we have used and recommend .
Tenda
Tenda aren’t a well known brand but cheap and cheerful and good as a starter option. For internet speeds below 100 Mbps go for the MW3. 3 nodes should be fine for your average 3 bed house and only cost £50 for 3 nodes. For slightly bigger houses and faster internet connections theres the MX12. This covers 7000 square foot and speeds of up to 1 Gbps. We have installed both of these and they are easy to setup and work well. Tenda really does give you a lot of bang for your buck.
TP-Link
Both the Deco M5 and M9 products are excellent.The M9 would be our pick due to it having a dedicated channel for backhaul services. Both units come with anti virus and parental controls.
Unifi
If you want the absolute best solution, Unifi is what you need. This solution is best hard wired between nodes but this solution provides the most control and future proofing. If you are renovating or in the process of building a house, this solution really is the best. Contact us for details, DIY installation isn’t recommended.
Why a Professional WiFi Mesh Network is the Best Choice
While WiFi extenders can be an excellent solution for improving WiFi coverage in your home, they do have some limitations. One of the biggest issues with WiFi extenders is that they create separate networks, which can cause problems with connectivity and performance. Additionally, WiFi extenders can be challenging to set up and configure correctly, which can be frustrating for users.
A professional WiFi mesh network is an excellent alternative to WiFi extenders. A WiFi mesh network is a system of multiple nodes that work together to create a single, seamless WiFi network throughout your home. Each node in a mesh network communicates with the others, creating a strong and stable WiFi signal that can easily handle multiple devices and high-bandwidth activities like streaming and gaming.
Professional WiFi mesh networks are easy to set up and configure, and they can be controlled using a mobile app. Additionally, a mesh network is scalable, so you can add more nodes as needed to increase coverage and performance. A professional WiFi mesh network is the best choice for anyone who wants a reliable and high-performance WiFi network in their home.
Conclusion
If you’re a Virgin or BT customer and are struggling with poor WiFi coverage in your home, a WiFi extender may be a good solution. However, a professional WiFi mesh network is the best choice for anyone who wants a reliable and high-performance WiFi network in their home. A mesh network is easy to set up and configure, and it provides seamless coverage throughout your home. Whether you’re streaming movies, working from home, or just browsing the web, a professional WiFi mesh network will ensure that you’re always connected.
