What is an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi
network?
A mesh WiFi network consists of at least one mesh-capable root access point and one
or more extender access points that connect to the root access point over WiFi (see
What are a root access point and an extender access point? on page 46). The root access
point is connected over Ethernet to a router or Internet gateway and provides Internet
access to its extender access points. The root access point and extender access points
work together to cover a potentially large area with WiFi network, which is the mesh
network.
A mesh network can be a good solution if you want to bring WiFi to the following
environments:
•
Nearby rooms where cabling is not available (in line of sight and in range of the
current WiFi reception)
•
Neighboring office buildings (in line of sight and in range of the current WiFi
reception)
•
Any environment in which you cannot run cables
