What do wifi mesh systems do and do they actually work?
In: Technology
Others explain what they are well – but the important thing is, in older ‘consumer’ grade equipment, once you connect to wifi, you stay attached to that point…If there was a wifi extender/repeater in range with better signal, it wouldn’t matter as you are still connected to the older, crappier signal.
In a mesh system, all points try to communicate with all other points to assess ‘Who has the best signal to this node’ – then they actively hand off the client to the best point. This is how cel phone towers work also – constantly switching to the best available signal.
