Mesh WiFi 6, 6E & 7 — Future‑Proof Installation
Multi‑gig backhaul, seamless roaming, business‑class mesh. We deploy WiFi 6, 6E and 7 systems that don't just blanket the signal — they deliver the speed and stability the latest standards promise.
/ When to call us
Is mesh right for you?
- Moving into a new home and want to do WiFi properly from day one
- Your existing mesh feels sluggish — usually because it's using wireless backhaul
- You stream 4K/8K, work from home over VPN, or run smart‑home automations
- You've just upgraded to gigabit (or multi‑gig) broadband and want devices to actually see it
- 30+ connected devices on your network and growing
- Garden office, garage, annexe or outbuilding needs coverage
/ What you get

- Hard‑wired Cat6/6a backhaul between nodes — this is the secret to fast mesh
- Multi‑gig switching (2.5G uplinks where the broadband supports it)
- WiFi 6E (6GHz) deployment for congested environments
- WiFi 7 (BE) for early adopters and future‑proofing builds
- VLAN separation: main / guest / IoT / work — sensible defaults
- Per‑band SSID strategy, channel planning, transmit power tuning
- Cloud dashboard so you (or we) can see network health remotely

/ Questions
Frequently asked.
What's the difference between WiFi 6, 6E and 7?+
WiFi 6 (2019) improved efficiency in busy environments. WiFi 6E (2021) added the clean 6GHz band — fewer neighbours = much less interference. WiFi 7 (2024) is the cutting edge: multi‑link operation, 320MHz channels, and peak speeds well into the multi‑gigabit range. WiFi 6 is the sensible default in 2026; 6E if you have lots of devices; 7 if you're future‑proofing a new build or premium install.
Do I really need wired backhaul?+
If you want the speeds the marketing promises — yes. Wireless backhaul halves the bandwidth available at each hop. A single Cat6a cable run between nodes turns a sluggish mesh into a properly fast one.
Will my old WiFi 5 devices still work?+
Yes. WiFi 6/6E/7 access points are fully backward‑compatible — your older laptop, smart TV or printer continues to work, just on the older band. Newer devices benefit from the upgraded standard.
Is WiFi 7 worth paying extra for?+
If you're building from scratch or refurbishing — yes, do it once and forget about it. If your current system already does what you need on WiFi 6, you can wait another upgrade cycle.
Eero vs Deco vs UniFi vs Omada — which?+
We install TP‑Link Omada (our primary stack — we're a Silver Partner) and Ubiquiti UniFi. Deco for clean residential, Omada for prosumer and business, UniFi where the client already has the ecosystem. We don't install eero — it's locked into Amazon's cloud and limits configurability.
