Reasons you should use a mesh network instead of a Wi-Fi extender
4 reasons you should use a mesh network instead of a Wi-Fi extender – By Joe Rice-Jones XDA Developers
Wi-Fi is faster than ever before, but that speed comes with a cost in terms of range. If you’ve been noticing connectivity issues, like dead zones, drop-outs, or sluggishly slow sites when browsing, you’re probably wondering how to extend your Wi-Fi coverage at the minimum cost. While moving your router to a more central location is an option, it’s not always possible. You could also pick up a Wi-Fi extender to rebroadcast your existing Wi-Fi network, but that’s throwing good money after bad, in my experience. It’s better to upgrade to a mesh network, which will give you better Wi-Fi coverage and handle your devices better so you’re not left frustrated waiting for pages to load.
