Whole-Home Wifi
That router in the closet just isn’t cutting it anymore.
-
Access points connect to a wired network using an Ethernet cable. They then broadcast a WiFi signal to the surrounding area, allowing WiFi-enabled devices to connect to the internet. Access points can be configured to broadcast multiple WiFi networks (SSIDs), which can be useful for separating different types of traffic, such as guest traffic and business traffic.

There are several benefits to using access points to provide WiFi coverage in a home or business:
Improved coverage: Access points can extend the range of a WiFi network, allowing WiFi-enabled devices to connect to the internet even if they are far away from the router.
Improved performance: Access points can improve the performance of a WiFi network by reducing congestion and improving signal strength.
Increased security: Access points can be used to create separate WiFi networks for guests and employees, which can help to improve the security of the network.
Scalability: Access points can be easily added to a network to expand coverage or improve performance as needed.

If you’ve ever tried to use a wireless mesh system to get better coverage.
Large buildings and homes. A basic router will adequately cover about 2000 sqft.
More than 2 floors. The structure of a floor generally impedes wifi more than walls do.
Wifi Access points are nothing new - You might have seen them on the ceiling as you were walking around a college campus, a hospital, or other large building. In order to get full coverage and optimal performance, we need to spread the wifi signal out across the space. Your phone or laptop then has the ability to connect to whatever access point is closest to you.
