Q: I would like to understand a mesh network and how I Can have installed in my home
A: Hi Scott. Thanks for your great questions. A mesh network in itself is typically 2 or more nodes that are spread through the home and create essentially a blanket over the entire space - thus creating a more consistent and stable connection to the network. This will be able to hold faster speeds, more devices and be more reliable long-term. We'd be happy to talk about this more and show you options available to you. To get started, please contact or head into your local Best Buy. You can find information about your local store at www.bestbuy.com/storelocator.
A: The technicians I had did exactly that. They went into every room in my home to make sure that wi-fi service was at its optimum.
