Use a Mesh WiFi System for Whole-Home Coverage

The Problem

Your router can't cover your entire home. Far rooms have weak or no signal.

The Hack

Buy a mesh WiFi system (Eero, Google Nest WiFi, TP-Link Deco). Place the main unit at your modem and satellite units throughout your home. One network, full coverage.

Why It Works

Mesh systems use multiple access points that communicate with each other, creating a seamless blanket of coverage. Your device automatically connects to the nearest node.

Pro Tips

• Eero ($99-200) is the simplest to set up
• Google Nest WiFi ($100-300) also works as a smart speaker
• 2-3 units cover most homes up to 4,000 sq ft
• One network name — your devices switch nodes automatically
