Most people consider getting a Nova Mesh WiFi system in their homes when their current WiFi coverage is poor. In this article, we will discuss a few points to consider when buying a mesh WiFi system to blanket your whole home.

The first question you need to ask yourself is: do you need mesh WiFi or just a long-range router? Here is what you need to take note off when deciding which mesh WiFi you need to buy for your home.

Choose Nova Mesh WiFi System based on Coverage and Speed

Coverage: The type of house you live in is the first thing that you need to take into consideration. How big is your home? How many rooms does it have? How many floors does it have? Where is the main router which is giving your home coverage placed? How far does it reach? Which areas in your home have WiFi dead spots?

We recommend to our customers to get a mesh WiFi system if they have large homes of 300m or more. Large homes using a single ISP-provided router are more likely to have a lot of WiFi coverage issues. Double-story houses and old houses that are oddly built won’t be able to match the pattern of coverage most ISP routers deliver. Some houses might look like they are well-served by a regular wireless router, while in actual reality they are not. There’s a lot of obstacles and signal disruptions that can make it difficult to get strong WiFi coverage in every part of your home. We know when this happens you are quick to blame your internet connection thinking it is poor while in actual fact you are far from a good WiFi coverage zone. We recommend that you replace your ISP-provide router or connect our mesh System to create one seamless roaming network which blankets your whole home with Mesh Wifi.

The basic guideline is this: If your router leaves you with dead spots in your home or even in your yard, you would probably be better off with a Nova mesh WiFi system instead.

Which Nova will be suitable for my home?

Consider the coverage range you are hoping to achieve according to the size of your home. You can always increase the number of Nodes if still some areas you are not getting good coverage.

Nova MW3	Nova MW5c	Nova MW6	Nova MW12
Coverage up to 300m²	Coverage up to 350m²	Coverage up to 500m²	Coverage up to 500m²

Speed: Each Nova Mesh WiFi system is built with the type of speed provided by your ISP in mind. Many homes are getting speeds less than 100Mbps from their ISPs. Our best-selling Mesh WiFi is the Nova MW3 as it is affordable and is suitable for broadband speeds of less than 100Mbps. Our 3 pack covers up to 300m² and you can add more as each covers up to 100m². The Nova MW5c is our second best with broadband speeds of more than 100Mbps and houses 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit ethernet ports. For homes with internet speeds of more than 200Mbps, we recommend the Nova MW6 and the Nova MW12. They both cover up to 500m². The only difference is that the Nova MW12 is a Triband mesh WiFi system with WiFi speeds up to 2100Mbps. We recommend buying the Nova MW6 or MW12 when you have a 4K/8K Smart TV, the latest Playstation or Xbox consoles, and have multiple other smart home devices to connect.

Coverage and speed are the most important features to consider when buying the Nova Mesh WiFi system for your home. Features such as design, security, parental control, QoS, and beamforming technology come standard in all our Nova mesh WiFi. Their stylish cubic design can easily be adapted to your home decor.
