Top choice for connecting your home efficiently.
The configuration had some issues. The walls could be made of wood or drywall, which should be manageable with mesh networks—just add more compatible mesh nodes. For concrete or brick walls, wireless performance will be limited. It’s better to connect devices via Ethernet wherever possible, and place Wi‑Fi access points in rooms that have a wired connection to the main router or switch. Your goals seem reasonable. When switching to high-speed broadband, remember that real-world speeds on typical homes often won’t match what you expect. Running Ethernet for many devices frees up bandwidth for clients.
I thought it would be better. We're facing many Wi-Fi interruptions, especially in one bedroom that acts as a dead zone. Since we rely heavily on Zoom for calls, maintaining stable connections is tough. The brick walls are the reason mesh networking isn't performing well. Thanks for the idea—I'll consider it.
Available spaces equipped for coaxial connections, MoCA adapters, and power line solutions for challenging locations.
We don't offer that service here in England. We recently purchased a powerline, but the speed isn't up to expectations, so it's not something we recommend.
Brick walls can be challenging. Some install steel mesh beneath the plaster... for the first floor, run cables through the basement, and for the upper floor, pass them through the attic. Generally, every room needing Wi-Fi should have an access point... but seriously, that bedroom that’s a weak spot is actually a good thing—it lets you rest more soundly there.
