Mesh Networks—Expanding Your Wi-Fi Coverage

Myth: Traditional routers alone provide adequate Wi-Fi coverage for larger homes.

‍Truth: WA homes, particularly sprawling rural properties or multi-story city houses, often struggle with Wi-Fi dead zones. Mesh networks, using multiple interconnected devices strategically placed throughout your home, provide extensive, seamless Wi-Fi coverage. Unlike traditional single-router setups, mesh systems create a unified network, allowing devices to connect automatically to the strongest signal available as you move around your home. This means no more wandering around trying to reconnect while you're preparing for a weekend BBQ in your backyard or streaming your favourite series upstairs.

One popular and reliable mesh solution is from Ubiquiti Networks, known as UniFi. UniFi offers robust mesh networking options suitable for homes and businesses alike, combining advanced features with user-friendly setup and management. The UniFi Mesh product line includes devices like the UniFi AC Mesh, UniFi AC Mesh Pro, and UniFi Dream Router, each designed to meet different coverage needs and environments. These systems ensure high-performance Wi-Fi throughout your property, eliminating coverage gaps and ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.

UniFi’s intuitive mobile app and web interface also make managing your mesh network easy, offering real-time insights, device monitoring, and straightforward adjustments to optimise network performance. With UniFi Mesh, you can confidently extend high-quality, reliable internet coverage everywhere in your home or business premises, leaving behind WA’s famous "Wait Awhile" internet struggles.

Historical Fact: In 2017, Telstra launched Australia's first commercially available mesh Wi-Fi system, dramatically enhancing home connectivity nationwide.
