Telstra Smart Wi-Fi Booster Gen 2

Wi-Fi mesh uses your modem and boosters to create a single, unified Wi-Fi network throughout your home. Your modem connects to the internet by ethernet cable and your smart Wi-Fi boosters with mesh networking pair wirelessly to the modem.

This means you can place your boosters wherever you need more Wi-Fi coverage - all you need is a power outlet.

With Wi-Fi mesh, your devices won't have to switch manually from modem to booster either; the boosters automatically keep you connected to the strongest signal. 

Wi-Fi extenders basically take your modem’s Wi-Fi signal and re-broadcast it. This usually means that you'll see two network names on your devices - the modem and the extender - and you'll need to switch between them manually as you move between the two.

Wi-Fi mesh pairs your modem and your boosters to create a single, unified network throughout your home. Your devices only see one network name, and can move seamlessly from modem to booster signal as you move around the house.

Wi-Fi mesh networking is also intelligent, so it automatically keeps your devices  connected to the strongest signal, and self optimises in response to changed conditions.
