I compared a standard Wi-Fi router with a mesh setup - here's which one I recommend

The article compares a standard Wi-Fi router with a mesh network setup, highlighting the key differences and providing a recommendation. A traditional Wi-Fi router provides a single access point, while a mesh system uses multiple nodes to cover a larger area. The mesh setup offers improved coverage and better connectivity throughout the home, addressing issues with dead spots and weak signal areas. The author tested both systems and found the mesh network to be the superior choice, particularly for larger homes or those with complex layouts. The mesh setup provided consistent, reliable Wi-Fi access across the entire living space, with seamless roaming between nodes. While mesh systems are generally more expensive than a single router, the author concludes that the improved performance and coverage make it a worthwhile investment, especially for households with multiple devices and demanding connectivity needs.
