The more routers the merrier: Next-generation wi-fi is about creating a mesh of smaller routers that makes internet faster and cover the whole house through multiple access points, writes Geoffrey A. Fowler for The Wall Street Journal. They are more expensive, but Fowler advises to think of the perks of not worrying about dead wi-fi zones at home anymore. Fowler reviews a number of mesh systems: Eero, AmpliFi HD by Ubiquiti, Luma which belongs to an Amazon-backed startup, and Seamless Roaming kit by Linksys. He mentions Almond router by Securifi, a home wifi-network kit by D-Link, and routers by startup Plume. “Unlike traditional Wi-fi extenders, mesh systems create a single network that switches you to the strongest access point automatically as you wander.” he writes. For gamers, this does not make internet faster for you. But: “it makes Wi-Fi seamless and simple for most of us.” AmpliFi HD is the fastest and least expensive, but the author prefers Eero because the devices are more convenient to set up and look nicer. Here, Keish Shaw reviews Eero for The Network World and there, he reviews Luma: 5 stars for Eero, 4 stars for Luma, down from 4.5 after he reviewed Eero.
