Introduction
In today’s world, the internet is more than a luxury; it’s a necessity.
Whether you’re streaming your favorite shows, working from home or online gaming, high-speed internet, and whole-home WiFi coverage have never been more important.
For homeowners in Vaughan, Ontario, dealing with WiFi dead zones, slow speeds and connectivity issues can be a real challenge, especially in large multi-story homes.
We focus on our customer’s needs by providing customized services and support to get you the best plans and solutions. That’s where a whole home mesh WiFi system comes in.
WiFi Coverage Challenges
Many homeowners face the problem of poor internet connectivity in certain areas of their homes.
Residents in rural areas face additional challenges, they have limited options for high-speed internet, and often have to rely on satellite internet (Starlink) because cable, fiber optic, and DSL are not available.
The size of your home, materials used in construction, and even interference from other devices can block WiFi signals.
This results in a spotty internet experience and family members are left unhappy and disconnected.
What is a Whole Home Mesh WiFi System?
A whole home mesh Wi-Fi system is made up of multiple nodes that work together to create one single Wi-Fi network that covers your entire space.
Unlike traditional routers that can only broadcast from one point, mesh systems eliminate dead zones by having multiple access points throughout your home.
This means more even WiFi signal distribution throughout the home so every corner of your house gets a strong connection.
Your proximity to your router will determine the speed and reliability of your wifi signal. If your router is just placed in a room in the basement or in your home office that’s where the best signal will be. A mesh wifi system allows you to duplicate that (close to the router) experience throughout the home in key areas…even outside!
Mesh WiFi System Benefits
A whole home mesh WiFi system has many advantages that can improve your internet experience:
- Seamless Connectivity: Browse and stream as you move from room to room without interruption.
- Easy to Scale: Need more coverage? Just add more nodes to your existing system with minimal effort. We can even join other buildings into the network like bunkies, and workshops or you could even share the internet bill with your neighbor.
- User-Friendly Management: Most mesh systems have apps that are easy to manage and control your network. We also have the ability to troubleshoot your home network using our installer portal which provides us the status of your network.
- Advanced Technology: Mesh WiFi systems use the latest technology to improve connectivity, speed, range, and simplify setup for smart devices and streaming services.
How Does Whole Home Mesh Work?
Mesh WiFi systems have a main router and multiple satellite nodes spread throughout your home. The best way to connect these nodes together is with a network switch and ethernet cable.
These nodes talk to each other and work together to create one network. When devices like your phone connect, they automatically switch to the strongest signal so you get the best performance no matter where you are in the house.
Which Mesh System is Right for Your Home
When choosing a mesh WiFi system, consider coverage area, number of nodes, speed requirements, and user reviews.
Also, consider the price of different mesh WiFi systems equipment to get an affordable and competitive one. By matching the system’s specs to your home size and your internet usage you can get a customized solution for your needs.
Uplynk recommends using Eero for most residential mesh systems and Ubiquiti for most commercial and industrial applications. We offer free estimates to get the proper system designed for your needs no matter what your situation or budget.
Home Network Security
Minimal maintenance will keep your network running optimally.
Advanced technology plays a big role in maintaining optimal network performance by improving connectivity, speed, and ease of setup for smart devices and streaming services.
This includes updating system firmware, managing device connections, and restarting nodes to maintain speed and reliability. Most mesh systems today update automatically just like a cell phone so you don’t have to worry about degrading performance.
Troubleshooting
Even with the best systems, problems will arise. Having a troubleshooting guide(or post-installation support) will help you solve common connectivity issues like slow speeds, devices disconnecting or nodes not talking to each other.
With the mesh systems that Uplynk installs, we are able to remotely troubleshoot issues and determine what the problem is before we have to deploy a technician to your site. This can help reduce costs and speed up resolution.
Smart Home Devices
A whole home WiFi system is the foundation for integrating various smart home devices – from smart thermostats to security cameras. Reliable connectivity means these devices will be able to talk to each other and make your home smarter.
A mesh network is not just about WiFi. It’s really about the interconnectedness of both a wired and wireless network as well as devices like switches, routers, modems, and access points that distribute the internet throughout your home.
We will always wire a device if we can because a wired connection is the fastest and most reliable way to communicate over your network.
