Good coverage is a design problem, not a shopping problem. Before you buy another extender, it is worth having someone work out where the signal is actually failing and what equipment will fix it — then configure it properly so devices roam instead of clinging to the weakest node.
An extender is cheap and rebroadcasts a weakened signal on a separate network name, which is why devices often stay stuck on the wrong one. A mesh system uses several units that share one network name so a laptop or phone hands over cleanly as you move.
For most houses, one well-placed modern router fixes more than people expect, and mesh is the answer for larger or awkwardly shaped homes and for anything with thick walls. A wired connection back to each mesh unit, where it is possible, beats every wireless arrangement.
Once the equipment is powered on and plugged in, configuration is done remotely: network names, passwords, channels, guest access, device priorities and firmware updates. We test coverage room by room with you and adjust placement before finishing.
If you would rather have advice before buying, we will tell you what to get for your layout. Home support is billed at $129 per hour.
Yes. You plug the units in where we suggest, and we handle configuration, network naming, channels and testing over a remote session.
Sometimes. Extenders help a single weak room but halve throughput and create a second network name. For whole-home coverage, mesh is usually the better answer.
Home support is remote, so we advise on placement and cabling but do not perform physical installation work in homes. Onsite cabling is available for business locations.
Yes. We change default passwords, set strong WiFi security, separate guest access and update firmware — a short job that prevents most home network problems.
