What causes Wi‑Fi dead zones?

Distance, walls/materials (brick, plaster, metal), and interference. Most ‘dead zones’ are really weak signal + noisy channels.

Is mesh better than an extender?

Usually. Extenders often cut throughput and create roaming issues; mesh is designed for whole-home coverage and smoother handoff.

What’s the fastest fix for a dead zone?

Start with placement (move the router higher/more central), then add a node only if you still have weak signal. For the biggest reliability jump, add wired backhaul (Ethernet or MoCA).

What is backhaul and why does it matter?

Backhaul is the link between your router and mesh nodes. Wired backhaul (Ethernet/MoCA) is typically more stable and faster than wireless hops.
