For this story, we surveyed the top brands and models of mesh WiFi routers on the market. While you can’t truly test a mesh WiFi system until you’ve lived with it for an extended period of time, we consulted tons of online research, editorial reviews, and hands-on experience to choose models that best fit people’s homes and lifestyles.
Picture this: It’s a beautiful day, and you want to work with your laptop on the patio. But every time you try you just can’t maintain a stable wireless connection unless you sit in a specific back corner with the sliding glass door open. Or maybe you have a she shed or a man cave where you like to sequester, but the trade off for seclusion is terrible wireless service.
