Mesh Networking Systems Showcase

D-LINK COVR

The D-Link Covr system isn t a true ue mesh solution, but cleverly tries to operate like one. What it actuallyly is a collection of pre-paired components ents that work with each other out off the box, with technology to seamlesslyssly switch devices to the next strongest gest signal. Two kits should be availableable at launch, one featuring a routerr and extender set and another Powerline rline Wi-Fi set that also works with your our existing router.

NETGEAR ORBI

The Netgear Orbi is also not a true mesh networking system because its satellites only communicate with the router and not with each other. However, the Orbi uses Wi-Fi technology for backhaul communications and dedicates an entire network to it. It is also quick, the dedicated network for backhaul communications has a bandwidth of 1,733Mbps, while the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks for client usage support speeds of up to 400Mbps and 867Mbps respectively.

LINKSYS VELOP

TheTh Linksys Velop is one of the most polished mesh networkingne system around. It is a tri-band system and has a network dedicated solely to backhaul transmissions. Its 2.4GHz network offers speeds of up to 300Mbps, while itsts two 5GHz networks manage 867Mbps each. The Velop was also designed to be easy to setup, users only need to download an app to get started and actual setup process takesta less than 7ve minutes.

GOOGLE WIFI

The Google Wi7 mesh networking system is one of the most compact and stylish systems available today, with each node only about the size of large cup. It uses a dual-band network setup offering speeds of up to 300Mbps on a 2.4GHz network and 867Mbps on a 5GHz network. This means that unlike the Linksys Velop, it doesn t have a network dedicated solely to handle backhaul transmissions.
