Google wifi - mesh wifi system - $129 for 1 and $299 for 3 pack ( https://madeby.google.com/wifi/?utm_source=ads-en-ha-na-sem&utm_medium=text-both&utm_term=ds_kwdid&utm_content=new-dr-skws&utm_campaign=wifi&gclid=CjwKEAiAgavBBRCA7ZbggrLSkUcSJACWDexAPNleaGjW4teMd0F6u67ii2w4sihL7Sl2l5IEKgQ1vRoCADHw_wcB)
The system uses a technology called mesh Wi-Fi (something usually only seen in expensive commercial installations). Within our mesh network, each Google Wifi point creates a high-powered connection, and the different points work together to determine the best path for your data. The result is fast Wi-Fi everywhere in your house, not just right next to the router. Google Wifi was designed from the ground up to support the new ways we use Wi-Fi. These days, Wi-Fi has to be able to support lots of devices at the same time, and stand up to high-bandwidth activities like streaming video or gaming — in every room of your house. Google Wifi is an expandable system, so for larger homes, you can simply add Google Wifi points. They connect to one another and spread a strong network signal to every room.
