Welcome to Your Whole Home WiFi

A mesh-enabled router means the device is equipped with mesh capabilities. A traditional mesh WiFi setup typically requires a mesh node to be placed next to the router to act as a gateway. Since our routers are mesh-ready, we eliminate the need for an extra device. All you have to do is place mesh nodes where your WiFi signals are weaker and you’re ready to enjoy strong and seamless WiFi all over your home.

A mesh node extends your home WiFi coverage. When you place a mesh node in a WiFi dead zone, the node will capture and broadcast the wireless signal of your router to hard-to-reach corners of your home. By placing mesh nodes in strategic spots throughout your home, you can create a seamless, stable WiFi network that keeps you connected no matter which room you’re in.

Whole-home WiFi coverage depends on the size of your house and the number of mesh nodes you have. The more mesh nodes, the wider the coverage. Actual coverage may also vary because of:

• Environmental factors – include building materials, physical objects, and obstacles.
• Network conditions – include local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead.
• Client limitations – include rated performance, location, and connection quality.

We recommend up to 3 mesh nodes for a complete whole home WiFi set up.

In essence, FTTR and mesh WiFi both tackle coverage issues by strategically placing child or satellite nodes in areas with weak connections. The key distinction lies in their approaches.

FTTR prioritises physical infrastructure, ensuring every room has a dedicated fibre optic cable connection. In contrast, mesh WiFi creates a network of devices to broadcast a robust and consistent WiFi signal over a wider area.

Our WiFi 6 mesh nodes are available to purchase via the Shop tab in Self Care.

Do note that these mesh devices are not compatible with Gig Speed Home (FTTR). If you subscribe to that service, these devices will be replaced by parent and child nodes.
