Extending your Wi-Fi #
🏆 1st prize is always to run Ethernet cables and to add more WiFi Access Points.
✅ You can also consider using an Ethernet over Powerline kit which uses your existing electricity cabling to extend your network. Keep in mind the quality of your electricity cables will influence the link quality and Ethernet over Powerline kits do not work during Loadshedding.
✅ Wireless Mesh systems create one large WiFi network with seamless roaming and no cabling. Make sure the mesh points are close enough to each other to provide a good connection.
✅ We always recommend WiFi Mesh kits over WiFi Repeaters.
✅ Advanced Mesh systems have a dedicated (6GHz) WiFi radio for linking the mesh units.
✅ In general, try to avoid mixing and matching WiFi equipment from different vendors.
