Experiencing intermittent internet in your home?

WiFi Mesh System might just be the solution to your connectivity woes!

What is a WiFi mesh system?

A WiFi Mesh System is designed to complement your internet’s existing router, to deliver strong WiFi signal in areas within your home that the said router cannot reach.

Oftentimes, ordinary Fiber Modems are unable to deliver consistent strong WiFi signal across entire homes especially if the area is more than 70sqms wide, has multiple rooms, thick walls and spans multiple floors.

The WiFi Mesh system eliminates this problem as it ensures that strong WiFi is delivered to rooms or areas where WiFi Mesh units are strategically placed.

The size of your house and the materials that divide your rooms and floors commonly interfere with the transmission of WiFi signal. Because of this, you likely experience weak WiFi signal or WiFi dead spots in some areas which your ordinary router is unable to reach.

This is where a WiFi Mesh system becomes useful. Distributing mesh units in problematic areas will ensure that WiFi is broadcasted, completely wiping out WiFi dead spots.

Tips on setting up a WiFi Mesh System

PLDT Home

Know which areas in your home have low or no WIFI signal and place your mesh units in the center of these areas

PLDT Home

Avoid placing your WIFI Mesh units in the corner of a room or near a window as this will limit WIFI range

Place your WIFI Mesh units far from physical obstruction (like cabinets and shelves) and metal objects or appliances that emit electromagnetic waves

In addition to eliminating WiFi dead spots and ensuring that strong WiFi is available throughout the home, WiFi Mesh systems have other notable benefits!

Easy Setup and Network Management

One of the best advantages of a WiFi Mesh system is their tandem mobile app. The mobile app, which provides a detailed step-by-step guide, allows users, even those who are not well-versed with technology, to setup their WiFi Mesh system with a few taps of the finger, within minutes!

WiFi Mesh mobile apps also provide easy network access, allowing for easy network management. You can access and configure your home network even outside the home. This is much better than accessing your network through a browser dashboard, which you need to be connected to your local network to manage.

Streamlined Connections

Traditional routers or devices commonly known as WiFi Extenders, also help extend your WiFi signal to critical areas. However these extenders often require the creation of a separate network with a separate name, leaving you with multiple connections that you manually need to connect to as you move around the house.

With a WiFi Mesh system, you can enjoy seamless roaming within the home. You can move from room to room, without the needing to constantly disconnect and connect.

Advanced Features

Households with multiple users, most especially those with kids, will benefit greatly from the WiFi Mesh System’s Parental Control Features. With Parental controls, parents can create user profiles for each member of the family and assign devices, online time and blocked sites for each – ensuring online time remains safe and productive.

WiFi Mesh Systems also have Guest WiFi, which those who don’t belong to your household can access when they visit your home. This will allow you to manage what guests can do and access in your network.
