Do I Really Need A Mesh Wi-Fi System?
has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 22, 9am-11am.
Are you burdened with a multilevel home or office with many walls and floors, that need TV or connectivity? Maybe you own an outlying garage or shop, that needs TV or connectivity.
Is your single station dual band Wi-Fi not performing (slow, reconnecting, or buffering)? If the answers are yes, you definitely need to look at a Mesh Wi-Fi system.
In this 2 hour class we will cover the difference between Standard Wi-Fi and Mesh Wi-Fi. What is a dual band and tri-band router? What are nodes and how are they placed in your network?
Which is the best backhauling system, wired, wireless or both? We will cover Wi-Fi 7 MLO (Multi-Link Operation) and show how it will speed up your Mesh Wi-Fi network.
