Connor Blake walks you through everything you need to know to set up, configure, and optimize a mesh Wi-Fi system for reliable, whole-home coverage. No jargon.

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.
Perfect for homeowners, renters, remote workers, and anyone who has struggled with their home internet and wants a permanent fix — not just another workaround.
