Excellent coverage across your home for less than £150? mark (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/itsupportprovider) from m3 Networks (https://m3networks.co.uk/) explains how it can be done, and how he's done it What is this big wi-fi secret?
Wi-Fi is a technology that allows devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets to connect to the internet wirelessly.
It creates a network in your home or office using an access point, which is usually a router.
You can use Wi-Fi to connect to the internet anywhere in your home or office, as long as you're within range of the access point.
The problem with bigger homes and offices when it comes to your wi-fi coverage
If you have a big house or office, however, you might find that your Wi-Fi signal doesn't reach all corners.
This can be frustrating, especially if you're trying to use the internet in a part of the house or office that's far from the access point.
Fortunately, there are ways to improve your Wi-Fi coverage.
Range extender (Good)
One option is to buy a range extender, which is a device that extends the reach of your Wi-Fi signal.
Mesh network (Better)
Another option is to buy a mesh network, which is a system of multiple access points that work together to give you full coverage throughout your home or office.
This episode is all about the mesh network.
Mark explains what a mesh network is, how it works and why you should give it serious consideration for your home network.

Here's a very quick sneak preview of that transcript of episode 54
"Welcome to today's episode of Techcess.
I'm Mark Riddell and I want to talk to you about Wi-Fi.
Now, yes, it's pretty boring, it's pretty dry, but the thing with Wi-Fi is it's great when it works, but when it doesn't work, it's a total pain. It's really frustrating when you have poor Wi-Fi. And a lot of the time people say to me, well, yeah, it's great, I get a Wi-Fi signal throughout my house. But there's a big difference between having a Wi-Fi signal and actually having a signal that's strong enough to actually get any work done. So just because you are connected to your Wi-Fi doesn't mean it's actually suitable to do the tasks that you're trying to do online, especially when it comes to things like video calls on teams or zoom or whatever. So today I'm going to tell you about how you can get 100% perfect Wi-Fi coverage throughout your house for less than £150.
Who’s this wi-fi system for?
Now, of course, there has to be a little bit of a caveat to this because this is not going to work in everyone's house. But I think for 95% of people who have a modest three- or four-bedroom house, especially if it's a more modern construction, then this is going to solve your Wi-Fi problems. If you have a massive country state mansion that's made of brick with really thick walls, then of course you're probably going to need to have a better Wi-Fi system and probably get a company in to flood your house with Wi-Fi and maybe run some cables and things. But this advice today is for the masses. This is for the majority of people out there, like I say, who live in a modest modern three-to-four-bedroom family home. Most of you out there are probably getting your Wi-Fi provided from the router that was provided to you by your internet service provider, your ISP. So, you probably have a BT home hub (https://www.bt.com/help/broadband/learn-about-broadband/different-types-of-bt-hub) or a Virgin super hub (https://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/help-and-advice/products-and-services/super-hub-guide/), or if you're with Sky (https://www.sky.com/broadband), you'll have their router. But these things don't provide great Wi-Fi because, of course, they're designed to look like something that...
