Networks & Wi-Fi

Should I use mesh Wi-Fi or wired access points?

Mesh can simplify home coverage, while wired access points usually offer stronger capacity and predictability.

Answer

Mesh Wi-Fi can be effective where running cable is difficult, especially in homes. Wired access points use Ethernet backhaul and are generally preferred for businesses, high device counts, voice or video, and environments requiring consistent roaming and performance. The right choice depends on construction, coverage, bandwidth, and management needs.
