Mesh WiFi

Mesh Wi-Fi routers

Router is a network device whose primary task is to mediate the transmission of data packets between two (or more) computer networks. The Internet router is no exception: its job is to transfer data between the global network, i.e. the Internet, and the local computer network in the home or business. In the case of Internet routers, their type and application are determined by the types of network interfaces they have, adapted to connect a variety of Internet access services, such as xDSL, cable TV network, fiber optic cable, Ethernet cable, LTE and others. More sophisticated routers may also offer the ability to connect a couple of different types of access simultaneously. Mesh Wi-Fi routers are characterized by the fact that they have a built-in Wi-Fi wireless local area network interface, supporting an infrastructure with a Mesh topology.

Wi-Fi Mesh

Wi-Fi Mesh is a type of wireless network topology that has a mesh form factor. mesh), consisting of multiple interconnected and cooperating nodes that include, for example, Mesh Wi-Fi routers and signal boosters. The Mesh standard also consists of a number of intelligent mechanisms to improve the operation of the. Normally, a network with Mesh topology consists of a central router, which is the "master" device that controls the operation of the network, and one or more signal amplifiers. Currently offered FRITZ routers! with updated software can in special cases also act as signal boosters, this happens when two routers work in parallel in the network. The Wi-Fi Mesh network automatically optimizes the parameters of its operation to achieve maximum performance in a specific location and for a given, currently supported number of terminals. Intelligent algorithms measure network parameters and, based on them, select the appropriate radio network bandwidth, Wi-Fi channel and optimize the load on individual nodes within a given location. The "Master" lead router collects information about the connection status of individual terminals and selects the optimal access point, radio band and Wi-Fi channel for them at the time. Mesh network in the home means simplified operation. Configuration only needs to be done once, in the central FRITZ Mesh router, and all the data on password, security standard, schedule, guest network settings, etc., will be available. will be automatically transmitted to other devices, such as range repeaters, eliminating the need to configure each device individually. Terminal devices (PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, etc.).) see the Mesh network in the home as a single, coherent whole, which in practice means that no action is required of the user, regardless of whether the end device is connected to the main FRITZ Mesh router or any of the Wi-Fi signal boosters. This is particularly important in the case of mobile devices that, as they move, are automatically and without user intervention switched between network elements that offer the best connection parameters at the time.
