In a time when a lot of people are working or studying from home, slow internet isn\u2019t something you cannot afford to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to improve the Wi-Fi signal strength in your home is to install either a Wi-Fi range extender or a Wi-Fi mesh system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a Wi-Fi extender or booster?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Wi-Fi extender is a simple device that boosts your Wi-Fi signal by connecting to your home Wi-Fi network and then rebroadcasting it on another Wi-Fi network. For example, you may have your Wi-Fi router installed downstairs in your house and then use a Wi-Fi extender to improve the Wi-Fi signal in the upstairs area of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the disadvantages of a Wi-Fi extender is that it will create a separate Wi-Fi network so in the example above you will have a separate network for downstairs and upstairs which means that you will need to connect to a different network when you move between levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a Wi-Fi Mesh Network?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mesh Wi-Fi uses multiple devices or nodes placed around your home to create one large seamless Wi-Fi network. The nodes usually talk to each other and optimise the way they broadcast their signal to give you the highest quality of Wi-Fi in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One Mesh Wi-Fi device usually plugs into the ethernet port of your router and broadcasts the new mesh Wi-Fi to the other nodes. Depending on how large your house is you may need 2 or 3 nodes in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing the example I used above, you may place one node downstairs and one upstairs and you will get one continuous Wi-Fi network in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wi-Fi extender vs Wi-Fi Mesh \u2013 Which one should I choose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages and disadvantages of Wi-Fi extenders and Mesh are summarised below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wi-Fi extenders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Affordable<\/td><td>Creates different wifi networks in your house<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Simple solution<\/td><td>Can be difficult to configure<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Can\u2019t be extended further<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wi-Fi Mesh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>One large Wifi network for your home<\/td><td>More expensive than extenders<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Automatically optimises and connects you to the closest node<\/td><td>Adds more devices near your router<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>It still works even if one node fails<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nodes can be moved<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>More nodes can be added to increase Wi-Fi coverage<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Easy to setup<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Can add features to your Wi-Fi like child locks etc<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My personal experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have used both Wi-Fi extenders and Mesh Wi-Fi in the past and have found that mesh systems are more reliable and provide a more robust wireless connection than extenders do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start of Covid when I was forced to work from home, I had to relocate my computer desk and found that there was Wi-Fi dead spot right where I was trying to work. I quickly became frustrated with dropouts and slow video conferencing and purchased a Mesh Wi-Fi system. I live in a small 2 story townhouse and 2 mesh devices was enough to boost my Wi-Fi signal to all corners of my house. It totally fixed my Wi-Fi issues and turned out to be a great purchase and worth every cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the differences between a Wi-Fi range extender and a mesh system can help you decide on the best system for your house. Both can perform well in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking of changing broadband providers? Oz Broadband Review helps Australians choose a great broadband plan that suits their needs.
