6. Installing the Wi-Fi extender in the home network
The device can operate in full mesh mode or in Wi-Fi legacy extender mode. Normally the
operator that has provided the device to you has preconfigured the device to one of these
settings and you do not need to take any actions.
The currently configured mode is visible in the local GUI of the device. For more information,
see the GUI section of this description.
Full mesh mode means that an intelligent Wi-Fi home network is formed by connecting
multiple extenders, and optionally the router, together to form a single Wi-Fi network.
Intelligent means that the mesh network steer the home devices to connect to the most
suitable extender in the mesh network using smart algorithms. They continuously measure
the performance in the network and make adjustments accordingly by moving home devices
to the most suitable extender based on its current location in the home but also by
considering home devices capabilities.
Legacy extender mode means that the Wi-Fi home network is formed by the router Wi-Fi and
one or several extenders. Each extender forms its own Wi-Fi network. The decision to which
extender to connect to for a home device is decided by the home device, not by the network.
The quality of the connectivity relies solely on the home devices ability to choose the best
device to connect to in each situation.
In each mode respectively there are a few options outlined in the flowing chapters.
