What is mesh? Instead of just having the traditional 1 router in 1 room, mesh systems can provide multiple pods to different rooms of the home. This is especially great for homes that have issues with WIFI not being available in the whole home. This could be caused by several things such as building material (such as concrete, log cabins, etc.) or maybe it is just a large home where a traditional router cannot provide the needed coverage.
