What you’ll learn
From choosing the right mesh system for your home’s size and layout, to positioning nodes for maximum coverage, to securing your network against threats — this book covers every step of the journey. You’ll learn how mesh networks differ from traditional routers, how to handle tricky environments like thick walls and multi-story homes, and how to keep your network running smoothly for years to come.
