Good Wi-Fi isn\u2019t just about creating a well connected environment for service users, it\u2019s about ensuring you can provide your carers with the tools necessary for the digital healthcare era. More often than not, particularly in smaller or older care homes, the internet connection isn\u2019t suitable for providing point of care recording.<\/p>

There are other ways in which you can enhance the strength of your internet connection across your premises. You may not have heard the term Mesh Wi-Fi before, but it can be a great solution to enhancing your connection.<\/p>

What is Mesh Wi-Fi?<\/h2>

Mesh Wi-Fi is a networking solution that helps spread the demand through multiple routers rather than forcing it all through one. This helps to eliminate dead zones and continue providing uninterrupted Wi-Fi.<\/p>

Mesh Wi-Fi systems have multiple access points, known as nodes which all link to the modem known as the main hub. The nodes capture and rebroadcast the router\u2019s signal resulting in an efficient wireless network with a strong signal no matter where you are.<\/p>

How does Mesh Wi-Fi compare to traditional set ups?<\/h2>

There is typically only one router in a traditional set up that broadcasts Wi-Fi from a single point, but this isn\u2019t often in the best place as the signal can be obstructed by thick walls and ceilings. This is because traditional routers have a limited range and are often unable to cover multi-story or large homes. However, Mesh Wi-Fi can cover many areas across your home through the nodes which rebroadcast the router\u2019s signal.<\/p>

What benefits can it bring to your care home?<\/h2>

Mesh Wi-Fi networks automatically configure themselves, which means setting them up is easy and you don\u2019t have to set up each individual node. They are also much faster than traditional routers, some report up to ten times faster! This is because the data is distributed evenly across the nodes in the network, rather than concentrating all traffic to a single wireless router. Lastly, they are also much more reliable than traditional routers, as if one is experiencing a weak signal the next closest node will take over and the network will perform as usual.<\/p>

All of this means your home will experience seamless internet connection, anywhere at anytime.<\/p>
