WiFi 6 is the newer and faster version of WiFi. It provides better speeds, stronger signals, and improved performance, especially in homes with multiple devices. Unlike WiFi 5, which slows down when too many devices are connected, WiFi 6 can handle more devices at once without reducing speed. It also offers better security (WPA3) and lower latency, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, and smart home setups.

A mesh WiFi system replaces a single router with multiple nodes placed around your home. These nodes work together to create one strong, seamless WiFi network, eliminating dead zones and improving coverage in larger homes.

Yes! A fast internet plan doesn’t always mean good WiFi. If your router struggles to cover your entire home, a mesh system spreads the signal more evenly, ensuring consistent speeds in every room.

A mesh system won’t increase your internet plan speed, but it will help deliver that speed more efficiently throughout your home. It reduces lag, prevents signal dropouts, and keeps speeds stable even when multiple devices are connected.

Small home (1–2 bedrooms) – 2 nodes should be enough.
Medium home (3–4 bedrooms) – 3 nodes recommended.
Large home (5+ bedrooms / multiple floors) – 4+ nodes for full coverage.

Yes! Mesh systems work with any ISP (Internet Service Provider). Just connect the main mesh unit to your existing modem/router, and it will enhance your WiFi coverage without changing your internet provider.

No, most mesh systems only work with their own brand. If you mix brands, they may not communicate properly, leading to connection issues and weaker performance. It’s best to use the same brand and model for all your mesh nodes.

If you experience WiFi dead zones, slow speeds in certain rooms, or buffering, a mesh system can help. It’s especially useful for large homes, multi-story houses, and homes with thick walls where a single router struggles to provide full coverage.

Yes! A WiFi extender creates a separate network, which can cause delays and weaker speeds. A mesh system, on the other hand, creates one seamless network, so your devices always connect to the strongest signal without interruptions.

Yes! Most mesh systems allow you to add more nodes if you need extra coverage. Just make sure they are compatible with your existing mesh setup.

Yes! Whether you need a fresh install of your current operating system or an upgrade to a newer version (like from Windows 10 to Windows 11), we’ll ensure it’s done properly to optimize your system’s performance.

Upgrading your SSD (Solid-State Drive) and RAM (Random Access Memory) can significantly improve your device’s speed and responsiveness. An SSD offers faster data access than a traditional hard drive, and increasing RAM allows your system to run more programs simultaneously without slowing down.
