Mesh Wi-Fi

What is Mesh Wi-Fi? – Advantages of Mesh technology

An ordinary Wi-Fi network is based on a router that distributes the Internet signal within your living area. The Wi-Fi coverage quickly reaches its limits and is weakened or even interrupted bywalls, ceilings, and other interfering factors. The result: websites that take forever to load, slow video conferences in the home office and interruptions whilst streaming and gaming.

Not so with Mesh technology: a Mesh system consists of several Wi-Fi access points that together form a large, seamless home network. Here, your end devices are always automatically connected to the strongest signal. So, you enjoy powerful, seamless Internet throughout your home – and you can always expand network coverage by adding more access points.

How to set-up your Mesh network

Preliminary Considerations

In the first step, you should consider how many Wi-Fi access points you want to include in your Mesh network. This depends on various factors:

How large is your living area? There is an ideal solution for every living situation and size of living space.
Do you also want to supply the basement and attic with Internet – for example, to set up a hobby room according to your wishes?
What potential interference factors are in your home? These include ceilings and walls, but also microwaves, floor heating and large pieces of furniture.

Set-up

Once you have found the ideal devolo Starter Kit for your home, you can set up your Mesh. It’s as simple as that:

Download the devolo Home Network app and follow the installation wizard step by step.
Connect the first adapter to your router.
Attach additional adapters in rooms where you need a stable Wi-Fi.

It’s a wrap – from now on you can enjoy seamless, fast Wi-Fi throughout your entire home.

Mesh functions

Thanks to the integrated "Config Sync" function, the Wi-Fi configuration data of your router is simply transferred to all Wi-Fi access points (Single SSID).

This allows you to move seamlessly between the different access points and so your mobile device does not have to dial in again and again.

Depending on the model, the following advanced mesh features keep you optimally connected:

Access Point Steering
Fast Roaming
Airtime Fairness
Band Steering

devolo Mesh – diverse solutions, one ecosystem

The best of two worlds

Starting off, many users are faced with the question: Mesh or Powerline? We ask you the opposite question: Why not just both? All Wi-Fi adapters in the Magic series from devolo are equipped with clever Mesh functions.

This means: The proven powerline technology serves as the backbone of an intelligent Mesh network that transports your router Wi-Fi throughout the entire home. If you only want to supply a small living room with Wi-Fi, you can also use the repeater solution with Mesh technology.

Flexibly expandable

Whether you start with a repeater, powerline or special Mesh product with an extended functionality is entirely up to you. As being part of the large devolo ecosystem, most of our devices harmonise with each other without any problems and can therefore also be flexibly expanded later on.

This has concrete advantages for you: you don't have to make a final decision on how to design the future of your home network. You can set up your Mesh network as you need it today. And later – after a move, for example – you can simply expand it with additional devices.

From the repeater for the small student flat-share ...

... to the powerline system for the family household.
