What to Look for in a Mesh Wi-Fi System
Mesh networks are quickly becoming the sensible choice - they are fast, reliable, and easy to set up. Even if you have never had to configure your own wireless network before, Mesh Networking kits will easily walk you right through it.
Look for the speed, often written as something like AC2200 - that is the type of Wi-Fi (AC) and theoretical maximum speed (2,200 Mbps). You will also need to decide on a number of nodes: two should do most homes, but larger homes might need more. Before you spend the money, make sure a Mesh Networking Kit is the right option for you.
Also when looking for options, be sure to check reviews; anything with thousands of reviews, and 4+ stars would be good examples to check
