EasyMesh: Making Wi-Fi Simple


Nowadays, people rely on home WiFi, especially with the increasing presence of smart devices in homes. Mesh routers provide whole-home coverage by combining multiple routers into one network. However, a major limitation of traditional mesh networks is that all routers must be from the same manufacturer, restricting consumer choices.

Fortunately, the WiFi Alliance introduced EasyMesh, a new standard allowing routers from different manufacturers to work together. With EasyMesh, as long as two routers support EasyMesh, they can be integrated into the same network, offering greater flexibility and choice for consumers.

 

What EasyMesh Does

EasyMesh works by creating a big Wi-Fi network made up of lots of smaller parts. These parts called access points, work together like a team to give you Wi-Fi coverage everywhere in your home. Unlike old Wi-Fi boosters that make new networks, EasyMesh keeps everything connected under one network name, so you don’t have to switch between different Wi-Fi signals.
