Wi-Fi can be a cumbersome issue to solve especially when Zoom calls are dropping out and everyone looks likes a blurry mess, but Mesh Wi-Fi is a new kid on the block that can solve some of your spotty Wi-Fi connections at home.
In this article, we'll take a look at the different Mesh Wi-Fi brands based on price and features. I've even reviewed Asus's CT8 AC3000 Mesh Wi-Fi which you can watch below!
What is Mesh Wi-Fi?
While people have called it a Mesh Wi-Fi extender, they're not exactly wrong.
Basically, it's a simplified way of connecting multiple wireless routers easily, and a good Mesh Wi-Fi network will cover every inch of your home with Wi-Fi. The best part is that companies have invested more time into making the setup process easy.
No more typing weird IP addresses into your Google Chrome browser. So let's take a look at the best Mesh Wi-Fi options for your home!
