Indicate the number of satellite nodes.

Don’t worry if you overestimate or underestimate it, as you might add nodes later.

Plug in the nodes one at a time.

Why Install a Mesh web connection?

The typical Wi-Fi router is designed todeliver a signal to a standard, single-family home.

However, building materials, home design, and home size can often frustrate the most powerful routers.

This fuzziness becomes evident when you attempt to use Wi-Fi at the edge of a router’s effective range.

Mesh networks mitigate these common problems by distributing your router across your home.

Nodes are constantly connected to each other and help each other move traffic over Wi-Fi signals.

This architecture limits connection losses and ensures the router doesn’t become overloaded by too many requests at once.

However, proper configuration is necessary to ensure the best results.
