When should I use a mesh network?

A mesh network is ideal when you need strong, consistent internet coverage across a larger area or in homes with many connected devices. Traditional WiFi often leaves dead zones in larger properties, while mesh systems use multiple access points (or “nodes”) to expand coverage and improve reliability. Mesh networks are especially helpful if:

• You have a larger home or property with WiFi dead zones
• You use many smart devices that can congest standard routers
• You need seamless roaming and consistent speed throughout the house

This mesh concept isn’t limited to WiFi — it's also used in smart home technologies like Thread. While Thread and WiFi are separate protocols, both benefit from the same principle: the more nodes in the mesh, the stronger and more reliable the network.
