Mesh WiFi - Brief definition
Multiple WiFi access points (e.g., Powerline WiFi adapters and repeaters) form a large, shared mesh network that automatically connects users to the strongest WiFi signal. In conjunction with efficient mesh functions, this results in an intelligent mesh WiFi home network.
The term Mesh WiFi encompasses various features. One of the most important is Access Point Steering. This mesh feature allows all WiFi devices to always automatically connect to the strongest signal , even when they change their position.
In addition, the other mesh WiFi features ensure a meaningful distribution of the devices connected to the WiFi across the different frequency bands, so that all devices are optimally supplied with WiFi.
devolo Mesh WiFi - different technologies & advantages
-
A great WiFi!
No matter how many devolo WiFi adapters are used, by matching the WiFi name (SSID) and password, a single Mesh WiFi network is created throughout the home. The router can be integrated into this Mesh WiFi network at the push of a button (regardless of the manufacturer).
- Access Point Steering: for the best connection!
The mesh function Access Point Steering seamlessly and automatically connects devices to the strongest WiFi access point. Switching mobile devices within the WiFi network is therefore initiated by the access point and is significantly more efficient than client steering.
- Fast Roaming: quickly connect to the strongest signal!
In home networks with multiple access points, Fast Roaming enables fast, seamless transitions of WiFi clients from one access point to another. This allows users to benefit from the strongest WiFi signal available—without annoying interruptions during the signal switch.
- Band Steering: Sort more, achieve greater performance!
Band Steering monitors and organizes band allocation in congested network environments by distributing network devices across the available frequency bands, thereby providing more WiFi performance.
- Airtime Fairness: Fast lane for your WiFi device!
In WiFi networks with many end devices, these devices compete for the available transmission time. Airtime Fairness ensures that in this situation, faster devices are prioritized and not slowed down by slower WiFi devices.
