What is whole home Wi-Fi?
A whole home Wi-Fi system, also known as a mesh network, is an easy solution to improving Wi-Fi speeds and extending Wi-Fi throughout your space. Here’s how whole home Wi-Fi can help boost your internet speeds.
With TrueMesh, WiFi hops between eero devices to travel down hallways or go around walls. Most other Wi-Fi systems only allow for one hop in any direction — so something as simple as a wall can mean that your devices can’t get the WiFi they need. eero allows for more hops with less speed degradation — so you can cover any home and navigate around any obstacle.
What are the benefits of a whole home Wi-Fi system?
Some benefits of the whole home Wi-Fi system include:
Custom coverage
Wherever eero devices go, so does your connectivity. Let’s say you spend most of your time browsing the web downstairs, but also stream movies upstairs in your bedroom. With a whole home Wi-Fi system, you can achieve strong internet connections in both locations, regardless of where you’ve placed the router.
Easy network management
Most whole home Wi-Fi systems come with digital apps to help you easily manage the devices on your network. For example, with Chorus Smart Wi-Fi, you can view Wi-Fi signal strength and connected devices, and reboot your modem. You can even change your network credentials and security settings. This means security is in the palm of your hand.
Fewer interferences
With eero devices nearby, you shouldn’t have to worry about radio interferences or structural obstacles. If you’re experiencing slow Wi-Fi in your kitchen because of your microwave and a nearby mirror, place a satellite station in the kitchen. This way, the signal no longer has to travel through these objects to reach your device.
Location-based connections
As you move room to room, your whole home Wi-Fi system can automatically connect your devices to the strongest station based on your location. By optimizing your route to connectivity, you’ll experience more reliability between devices.
Reliability
In addition to location-based connections, this whole home system can help guarantee that if one node goes down, your network will continue running. So long as your central hub is still standing, you should not experience any internet connection issues.
Dynamic Rerouting
TrueMesh technology knows the signal strength between each eero in your home and calculates the best path from your device to the internet. If there’s a disruption on any part of your network — like if a pet knocks a Beacon out of the wall — TrueMesh dynamically reroutes traffic to keep it balanced. All this happens in the background, so you don’t notice a thing.
Ethernet Compatible
Whether you have Ethernet installed throughout your house or just in a single room, eeros can automatically mesh over Ethernet.
