Quick Answer

For family tech buyers, coverage is the whole point of mesh, eliminating dead spots in bedrooms, the lounge and the garden. A two-pack covers up to ~250m2; a three-pack suits larger or double-storey homes. Match nodes to floor area so every family member gets a steady connection, around R2,800 for a two-pack.

Why coverage matters most for families

A family home has devices everywhere: kids gaming in bedrooms, streaming in the lounge, video calls in the study. Coverage gaps mean buffering and dropped calls. Mesh's job is to blanket the whole home with one seamless network, which a properly sized kit delivers.

Match nodes to your home

A two-pack covers a typical 3-bedroom house; step to a three-pack for a 4-bedroom or double-storey with thick walls. Place nodes in open air, evenly spaced, for best coverage. Wire nodes together where possible for faster backhaul.

SA buyer notes

A Wi-Fi 6 family kit with the app's per-device controls covers a family's devices and screen-time needs. On SA fibre, good coverage keeps several 4K streams and gaming smooth across the home.

Use the app to name each device so you can spot which one is hogging bandwidth at a glance; in a busy family home that visibility makes managing several streams and gaming sessions far less of a guessing game.
