Many families typically use the WiFi routers that are installed by their internet service providers (ISPs).\u00a0 Some households upgrade to more powerful, state-of-the-art WiFi routers that have all the latest bells and whistles.\u00a0 While these new, top-of-the-line routers improve speed, they may not be capable of delivering complete whole-home WiFi coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s review a few ways to achieve complete WiFi coverage throughout average-sized, large, and very large homes.<\/p>\n<h2>Install a WiFi Range Extender<\/h2>\n<p>One way to improve better WiFi coverage throughout your home is to install a range extender. A range extender increases WiFi coverage by connecting to your existing WiFi router and creating a separate WiFi network that has its own name and security credentials.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/range-extenders\/\">wifi extenders<\/a> will work, they are not without their complexities and limitations. First, because a range extender has its own security credentials, your devices must constantly log into the range extender and then back into the router as you roam around your home.\u00a0 Second, the range extender cannot communicate simultaneously with your router and all your devices.\u00a0 This cuts transmission capacity in half, because the available bandwidth is shared by the range extender, the router, and all the connected devices. Overall WiFi performance, therefore, takes a significant hit with this method.<br \/>\nResearch more: <button><a href=\"\/hub\/technology\/wifi-extender-vs-mesh-wifi-which-is-better\/\"><strong>Mesh vs Range Extender<\/strong><\/a><\/button><\/p>\n<h2>Install an Additional WiFi Router<\/h2>\n<p>Alternatively, some choose to install an additional router in their home to extend WiFi coverage. However, this method requires network cabling at all the appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/business\/wifi\/access-points\/\">access points<\/a> within your home, making initial setup and maintenance complex and expensive. Furthermore, installing an additional router does not circumvent the login disruptions, nor the bandwidth issues, described in the previous method.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-15\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-15\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/rbe873\/\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ad-orbi-870_728x90-family-1-23-24.jpg\" alt=\"orbi ad mid\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-15 from cache -->\n<h2>Even Better, Install a WiFi Mesh System or Mesh Extender<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2684 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/mesh-lifestyle-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"NETGEAR WiFi Mesh\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Recognizing the challenge of delivering seamless WiFi coverage to the typical home, NETGEAR designed a solution that eliminated the pitfalls of the previous methods. The result is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nighthawk Mesh Extender system<\/a>, and <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/orbi\/\">powerful Orbi WiFi Systems<\/a> both provides seamless, broadened WiFi range without the login disruptions, bandwidth issues, or the setup complexities characterized by installing traditional extenders and additional routers \u2014 a modern advancement built on the foundation laid by innovators like Hedy Lamarr, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/network\/meet-the-mother-of-wifi\/\"> Mother of WiFi<\/a>. Orbi Mesh systems are unique for their ground-up focus on ease of use and powerful dedicated WiFi connections between nodes.<\/p>\n<p>The Nighthawk Mesh Extender system is unique in several key areas.\u00a0 First, it has a backhaul radio with a dedicated connection to your router that is not shared by your connected devices.\u00a0 Not only can the router and mesh system communicate directly with one another, but the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are available for devices to transmit data at the highest speeds possible.\u00a0 This division of labor is a total game changer in range extension. One note though &#8211; if the WiFi router the Nighthawk Mesh Extender is connecting to is not very powerful, the Nighthawk Mesh Extender will also have limited capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference is that the Nighthawk Mesh Extender system shares the same network name and security credentials of the existing router. You can therefore walk around your home, and your device will seamlessly connect to the strongest WiFi signal, whether delivered by the router or by the Nighthawk Mesh Extender.\u202fBecause there is only one network name with one password, you won&#8217;t experience any disconnects.\u202fYour WiFi connection works as seamlessly as you would expect it to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline-block; width: 90%; background-color: #eeeeee; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; border: 1px solid black;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9234 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/choose-orbi-featured-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"NETGEAR Orbi\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/choose-orbi-featured-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/choose-orbi-featured-425x425.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.1em; display: inline-block; padding-bottom: 10px;\">Choose the Right Orbi for you:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<a class=\"explore-btn\" style=\"color: white;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wifi\/mesh\/orbi-buyers-guide\/\">Orbi Buyer&#8217;s Guide<\/a> Compare the latest Orbi Mesh WiFi Systems.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"explore-btn\" style=\"color: white;\" href=\"\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/find-my-orbi\/\">Find My Orbi Tool<\/a> Answer a few questions for an Orbi recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2674 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/NIGHTHAWK-MESH1-1024x458.png\" alt=\"NETGEAR WiFi at Home\" width=\"900\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h3\">Nighthawk Mesh Works with Any Router<\/h2>\n<p>The Nighthawk Mesh Extender is designed to work with any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/routers\/\">WiFi router<\/a>, from the most basic ISP-provided equipment to the latest state-of-the-art WiFi routers of any brand or manufacturer. If your goal is whole-home WiFi coverage using your existing router configuration, then installing the Nighthawk Mesh Extender system will deliver the highest level of performance available. Furthermore, should you ever choose to upgrade your WiFi router, Nighthawk Mesh will grow with you. Adding it will broaden WiFi coverage in even the largest of homes, and it does so without the complexities and inconveniences of the range extension solutions before it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h3\"><strong>NETGEAR Orbi Works With Any Modem<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering an upgraded Router instead of extending the coverage of your existing router and adding an extender, you should definitely consider an Orbi Mesh system.<\/p>\n<p>Orbi is able to take your WiFi to the next level of 6Ghz WiFi technology throughout your entire home.
