Globe At Home Mesh Device
What is a mesh?
A mesh is a device that creates a mesh system in your home as replacement for your existing WiFi network. You need 2 or more mesh devices to create a network.
What is a mesh system?
A mesh system creates one WiFi network to increase and stabilize WiFi coverage around your home. By increasing coverage, this means that you can roam around your home without having to connect and disconnect from different WiFi networks. By stabilizing coverage, this means that you can connect more devices and not worry about lag when using them all together.
How does a mesh system work?
The modem that comes with your Globe At Home plan has one access point that broadcasts WiFi. A mesh system has multiple access points which increases WiFi coverage - this is done with one mesh device which acts like the router, and the other succeeding devices which act like access points. These access points capture the router’s signal and rebroadcasts it to create increased coverage.
Why do I need a mesh system?
For houses that have thick concrete walls/unusual layouts/multiple floors or rooms, you may be experiencing WiFi dead spots, or areas with little to no coverage. For households that have multiple devices connected and in use at one time (multiple people studying/working at the same time), you may be experiencing lag on some devices. A mesh system solves both problems with the increased and stabilized WiFi coverage.
What else can a mesh do?
- Your mesh can be managed via an app which allows you to monitor usage/create guest systems all from your phone.
- Your mesh will remove the need to constantly connect and reconnect when moving around.
- Your mesh comes with security support.
What is the difference between a mesh and an extender?
A WiFi extender device only connects to your existing network, and extends your connection by making a new network. You will have to manually switch back and forth between the new networks an extender makes. Extenders may also slow down your experience because devices connected to an extended network have to take turns sending and receiving information. With mesh, you have one network that covers your whole home.
