What is Managed WiFi?

Designed with YOU in mind, our router is built using all the latest standards and advanced WiFi technologies, so it just works! The routers are high-end devices with features that are above and beyond typical consumer grade – you cannot find these routers on a Best Buy or Walmart shelf. We’re bringing a commercial solution to your home to ensure a consistent, high-level experience. With advanced features like Dynamic Beamforming, Multi-User MIMO, Band Steering, and Node Steering, our routers out-perform 99% of consumer level routers right out of the box.

Adding to the great hardware, we also have a team of trained WiFi experts. We can help get new devices connected, set up parental controls, diagnose slow speeds on specific devices, scan for WiFi interference, and more! And if the router goes bad, we’ll replace it at no additional cost.

Do I Need a Range Extender?

Many of our customers find they do not need an extender with our advanced router. However, if there are still dead spots in the home, we recommend picking up one of our 804Mesh satellite units to extend your network. The 804Mesh units work with our router to cover your home in one seamless WiFi network, so you can spend more time enjoying the internet and less time checking your WiFi signal strength. They’re small, easy to set up, and faster and more reliable than third party WiFi extenders.

Do you wish to have the knowledge and support of an expert WiFi team on your side? Do you need an advanced router that is built to last, and costs nothing extra to you to replace?
