Best mesh Wi-Fi for large homes and thick walls

For a large house or thick walls, a mesh system with one node per floor (or every 10–15 metres) works best. Wi-Fi 6 is enough for most homes; Wi-Fi 6E or 7 helps with many devices and fast internet plans. A network cable between nodes gives the biggest boost.

Buying tips

  • Place nodes halfway between the router and the dead zone, not inside it.
  • Use powerline or existing Ethernet for backhaul through thick concrete walls.
  • Check that your devices support Wi-Fi 6E or 7 before paying extra for it.
