Full origin of mesh network →Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a mesh network and a Wi-Fi extender?
An extender repeats the signal from one router and usually creates a second network that a device has to join separately. A mesh system uses units designed to work together as one network under a single name, and devices move between them without reconnecting.
Is a mesh network faster than a normal router?
Not inherently. A mesh system mainly improves coverage, so parts of a building that previously had a weak signal get a usable one. Speed in a spot that already had a strong signal is not necessarily improved.
What does self-healing mean in a mesh network?
It means that if one node fails or a link is lost, traffic can be routed along a different path between the remaining nodes, so the network keeps working rather than breaking entirely.
