FAQs

Mesh WiFi helps extend WiFi coverage across larger or multi-storey homes by adding mesh units in areas where a single router may not provide strong enough coverage. This helps deliver stronger, more stable WiFi across more rooms and reduce WiFi dead zones. With Maxis MaxWiFi, Maxis Maxperts analyse your home layout and recommend the right number of mesh units for wider coverage — no more, no less.
-
The number of mesh units you need depends on the size and layout of your home. For a typical double-storey home, you may need the main router on one floor and an additional mesh unit on the other floor to extend coverage. Larger homes or homes with more complex layouts may require additional mesh units. With Maxis MaxWiFi, you don't have to estimate the number yourself. A Maxis Maxpert will analyse your home layout and recommend the right number of mesh units for better coverage before installation.

Keep the main router in an open area near the fibre termination point, rather than inside a cabinet or tucked away in a corner. For a double-storey home, an additional mesh unit can be placed upstairs in an area where coverage needs to be improved, such as a central hallway or landing. Avoid placing the units behind obstructions or close to sources of interference, as these can affect WiFi performance.
For Maxis MaxWiFi, a Maxis Maxpert will analyse your home layout and recommend the appropriate placement and number of mesh units for wider, more complete coverage. -
For whole-home coverage, mesh WiFi can be a better option for larger or multi-storey homes because it is designed to provide wider, more seamless coverage across the home. While a WiFi extender can help extend coverage to a specific area, a mesh system uses multiple mesh units to cover more areas of the home. This makes mesh particularly useful when you want to improve coverage across several rooms or floors, rather than just address a single weak spot.

Mesh WiFi doesn't increase the internet speed you've subscribed to — it helps extend WiFi coverage and improve connection quality in more areas of your home. For example, if your plan is 300Mbps but an upstairs bedroom gets a much weaker connection because it's further from the main router, adding mesh coverage can help improve WiFi performance in that area. However, mesh won't increase the maximum speed of your internet plan. If your WiFi coverage is already strong throughout your home but you need faster internet overall, a higher-speed fibre plan may be more suitable.
