How does Mesh Wi-Fi work?

Total Home Wi-Fi Basics

Unlike a traditional router that only broadcasts a signal from one point, with a wireless mesh network, the signal is broadcast from multiple access points that link together seamlessly throughout your home.

The resulting network provides your home with wall-to-wall coverage, eliminating dead zones and weak spots, so you can have a consistent connection to the internet on all your devices, in any room.
