![]() We’ve tested dozens of mesh systems for previous versions of this guide but dismissed them because they lacked features, were significantly more expensive, or lagged our picks in some way. ![]() When considering both features and our test results, we looked for “ the best for the most for the least.” But we don’t consider the cheapest or the fastest to be the best. Price: You can buy a mesh system for $80 you can also spend over $1,000.The things we like to see that justify spending more for a mesh system include speedier connections (like 2.5-gigabit ports), extra Ethernet ports, malware protection, and parental filtering. Nice-to-have extras: Fast, reliable Wi-Fi is what matters the most in a mesh system, but more expensive optional features bring other benefits, too.Multiple Ethernet ports: Ethernet ports on a mesh system’s satellites let you connect devices such as TVs, streaming boxes, and gaming consoles away from the base unit. ![]() Expandability: You should be able to add more nodes later to extend and improve coverage even farther, wirelessly or with wires.A great mesh system minimizes that wait even if the network is busy. Latency-or lag-is the time spent waiting for the next thing to happen. Low latency test results: Slow internet sucks. ![]() We tested each system to see its maximum potential when close to the base unit, as well as in trouble spots in the home.
