Frequently Asked Questions
How many mesh units do I need for a double storey house?
A three unit pack is the common choice for a double storey house, with one unit near the internet connection and the others on the upper floor and the far end. TP-Link Deco and Google Nest Wi-Fi are sold in three packs for this reason. A single mesh router covers a smaller flat.
What is the difference between the Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 mesh kits?
Wi-Fi 5 kits, such as some Linksys mesh routers, sit at the affordable end and clear dead zones for everyday browsing and streaming. Wi-Fi 6 kits from Linksys and TP-Link cope better when many devices connect at once. Wi-Fi 7 kits from TP-Link sit at the premium end of the range.
Can I pay cash on delivery for a mesh Wi-Fi system?
Yes. Mega Computer accepts cash on delivery as well as online payment, with delivery nationwide across Pakistan. You can also buy in person at the Karachi showroom.
Whole home mesh Wi-Fi systems from TP-Link, Linksys and Google, spanning Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7, with three unit packs for larger houses.
Mesh Wi-Fi Systems
Mesh Wi-Fi systems fix the gap a single router leaves in a multi storey house, where one box in the lounge means a weak signal in the back bedroom. Two or three units run as one network under a single name, so a phone or laptop moves between them without you switching connections. The buyers are families covering a full house, and small offices spreading coverage across a floor.
Three brands sit in this category. TP-Link Deco arrives as whole home systems in Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 versions, sold in three unit packs. Linksys covers both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 mesh routers, several of them carrying a one year warranty. Google Nest Wi-Fi comes as a three pack of routers. Pricing runs from entry level kits through to premium systems, so the spread here is wide.
Two decisions carry most of the weight.
- The first is the Wi-Fi generation. A Wi-Fi 5 kit costs the least and still clears dead zones for browsing and video. Wi-Fi 6 handles a house full of phones, TVs, laptops and cameras connecting at the same time. Wi-Fi 7 sits at the top of the range.
- The second decision is unit count. Kits sold as three packs cover a double storey house or a wide floor plan, while a single mesh router suits a compact flat and gives you room to add coverage later.
Who each option suits
A three unit whole home kit fits a house where the router sits at one end and the bedrooms sit at the other. A two bedroom apartment with one weak corner gets enough from a single mesh router. Small offices running video calls from several desks lean toward Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 kits, because the load is many devices at once. Buyers watching the budget can start on a Wi-Fi 5 kit and still remove the dead zones.
Mega Computer keeps mesh systems at the Karachi showroom and ships nationwide across Pakistan. You can pay by cash on delivery or by online payment. Warranty terms sit on each listing, and several Linksys mesh routers carry a one year warranty, so check the product page for the kit you shortlist.
Setup runs through a phone app on most of these kits, and the units share the network name your devices already know. Position the second unit part way between the main unit and the weak area, so it receives a strong signal to pass on. If your internet provider supplied a modem router, the mesh main unit connects to it by cable and takes over the Wi-Fi side.
