Smart Mesh Wi-Fi Simplies
Setup & Optimizes Connections
Simple, quick step-by-step setup is completed via the
EnMesh Mobile App. This solution utilizes a smart wire-
less method called meshing to connect Mesh Dots
quickly, without running wires or setting up software.
Mesh technology uses smart sensors that are always
scanning the environment to detect the optimal
connection quality and speeds, and immediately x
network slowdowns, re-routing data in the event a Dot
ever loses connection.
You’re in Total Control
The EnGenius EnMesh Mobile App not only makes
installing the Mesh Dot easy; it makes monitoring and
controlling the network just as simple. Multiple features
give users full insight and control into the entire home
network.
Speed-test your Internet connection and monitor the
link quality of each Mesh Dot. Securely share Wi-Fi with
guests and enable parental controls to dene Internet
usage rules and schedules for each family member.
Automatically update each Mesh Dot and x and detect
network problems with one-touch troubleshooting.
