What is mesh WiFi and do you need it?
Mesh WiFi is a system of multiple wireless devices that work together to cover your whole house. Instead of one router broadcasting from one room, mesh systems put smaller units throughout your home so the signal reaches everywhere. You need mesh WiFi if you have dead zones, multiple floors, or a large house.
Regular WiFi routers broadcast from one location and the signal gets weaker the further you go. Mesh WiFi spreads the load across multiple units placed throughout your home, so you get strong signal everywhere. It's worth getting if you have coverage problems with your current router.
