Best Mesh Router 2022

ign.com:

We all have a love-hate relationship with our Wi-Fi. There are all sorts of hacks and best practices to help you get the best signal out of your router, but at a certain point, a home may just be too big for a single router to handle. You'll end up with rooms that get an awful signal because there's too great a distance or too many walls between your devices and the router. And, to make things worse, those devices with poor connections on your network can negatively impact the other gadgets on the Wi-Fi. If you've found yourself in any of these predicaments, a mesh Wi-Fi system can help you get out of them.

In some cases, a Wi-Fi range extender may be an easy alternative if most of your home is covered and you just have a few dead zones. But, if you're running on an older system, have a large space, or have loads of obstacles in the way of the signal, a Wi-Fi mesh system might be your best bet at fixing the problem. These systems consist of one main router as well as separate modules to be spread throughout your home, creating an even network. It also takes a lot less fuss to get set up, since the system generally configures the network itself. And, despite being composed of multiple nodes, they can create a single network. Your devices will easily switch to whichever node is delivering the strongest signal without you needing to lift a finger.
