WiFi for a large house or duplex
How to plan WiFi for large or multi-storey homes without over-buying.
Plan one node per floor or wing
Concrete slabs and block walls stop WiFi. Plan a mesh node per floor or large wing, placed in open areas.
Cable where you can
An ethernet cable between nodes gives full speed. Wireless links between nodes work but are slower.
Don't forget power
Put the main router and nodes on backup power so WiFi stays up during outages.
FAQs
- Will a 3-pack cover my whole house?
- It depends on layout and materials. We won't promise full coverage without seeing the house.
