WiFi Mesh Devices: The glue to holding your connection throughout your entire home 

Have you ever been binge-watching your favourite Netflix series only to have your connection cut out when you move your laptop to another room? Or maybe you’re streaming a podcast while cooking dinner, but the sound keeps cutting out? The good news is that there's a solution to these internet dead zones: the mighty WiFi mesh device. Let's delve into what it is, why you might need it, and why it's the ultimate game-changer for your connection.  

What exactly is a WiFi mesh device and what does it do?

You’ve probably got a bunch of smart devices you connect to your home broadband including your phone, laptop and TVs, right? With Lit WiFi, our state-of-the-art mesh device, each of your devices act like a mini-router, so that they can talk to each other and share internet.  

Essentially it means that when one device loses connection, it can still communicate with other devices and game night doesn’t have to be interrupted. Your smart speaker shares internet with your smart fridge, your smart fridge shares with your Nest thermostat… the list goes on and on. The impressive part is that mesh uses multiple paths which means you can stream, game, or work from anywhere in your home without buffering. It's your own personal supercharged internet network.

“I have had to invest in a WiFi mesh system since installation but that was wholly expected given my property layout and the amount of devices we now have that require internet access. Finally, and most importantly, since installation my children have stopped complaining about rubbish WiFi. What a result!”
