Mesh WiFi uses several units to cover a home. Most now support WiFi 6E or WiFi 7. Pick by home size and how much you want to manage.

{{< owner unifi >}}I run a UniFi Dream Router 7 with a U7 Pro indoors and a U7 Outdoor outside. 5/5. It auto-tunes channels, uses beam steering, and covers 3 acres.{{< /owner >}}

{{< owner nest-wifi >}}I owned Nest WiFi before switching. 3/5.{{< /owner >}}

## Tips

- **Wire the units if you can.** Ethernet between nodes beats wireless backhaul.
- **Count walls, not square feet.** Brick and metal matter more than floor area.
- **Check subscriptions.** Eero and Orbi sell optional security plans.
