Most of us have had that issue. You know the one I mean, where you have to stay close to your Wi-Fi router if you are to get any kind of signal. Well, it seems that is all changing.
With a Mesh network, you get smaller nodes that will spread the signal over your entire home instead of one single point router. Wireless mesh infrastructure is, in effect, a network of routers minus the cabling between nodes.
It is built of peer radio devices that do not have to be cabled to a wired port like traditional WLAN access points (AP) do. Mesh infrastructure carries data over large distances by splitting the distance into a series of short hops. Intermediate nodes not only boost the signal but cooperatively pass data from point A to point B by making forwarding decisions based on their knowledge of the network.
Unlike a Wi-Fi extender that needs more than one network to stay connected, Mesh systems will work off one single network.
Ok, so what’s so great about the eero system in particular?
Well the EERO uses TrueMesh’s dynamic routing algorithms which ensure that there isn’t a home layout or connected device Eero can’t handle.
TrueMesh enables the signal to “hop” around walls or travel down passages etc., making the signal more accessible as it is said to be able to “cover any home and navigate around any obstacle.”
A bonus for this system is that you will get automatic updates, which means constantly staying at the forefront.
Setting up this device is as fast and easy as receiving a single-use code via SMS to ensure a secure set-up.
The connection is very safe as well as it uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) and WPA2 encryption to maintain a secure connection between your EERO’s, devices, and the cloud.
They have various packages on offer to suit your individual network requirements.

These new Wireless Mesh networks are shaping up to be the future of home internet usage and will make life a lot more convenient for all those who use Wi-Fi from home, be it for pleasure or for your home office.
