Wi-Fi mesh is a technology that allows multiple Wi-Fi network elements to be wirelessly interconnected, which then collectively appear as a single Wi-Fi router. By placing these wireless elements throughout the house, we achieve perfect Wi-Fi signal coverage in any part of the house or garden. As we move through the house, our device (e.g., smartphone) performs so-called Wi-Fi roaming and automatically switches from one Wi-Fi network element to another without you noticing, depending on which offers a better signal and speed. Wi-Fi mesh elements are placed close enough to each other to maintain a sufficiently strong wireless connection and far enough apart to cover the largest possible area with the signal. Usually, Wi-Fi mesh elements can also be connected by cable for even more stable connections.
If you use a Wi-Fi mesh system with the new generation of Wi-Fi 6 (such as TP-Link Deco X20), you can enjoy unparalleled signal coverage at speeds of up to 1.8 Gbit/s* anywhere in the house and even during summer barbecues in the garden. Watching a 4K movie on a lounger by the pool will not be a problem either.
* To fully utilize all the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 routers, it is necessary to have a device that supports this technology. For smartphones, this includes iPhones 11 and newer, as well as Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10 and newer, or Xiaomi Mi 10 5G and newer. For laptops, only the latest models (2021/2022 series) are likely to be supported. However, by replacing the Wi-Fi network card, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support can be added to older devices. When using Wi-Fi 6 routers, you don't have to worry that Wi-Fi won't work on older devices that don't support this technology, as Wi-Fi 6 is fully backward compatible with older generations.
