Network Stability 

 

Mesh WiFi relies on radio waves that are affected by various factors like walls. Thus, it can be subject to interference & influenced by the layout of your home. 

FTTR transmits data using optical fibres that are immune to electromagnetic interference thus FTTR offers more consistent and reliable connectivity.

Coverage/ Signal Strength

Mesh Wi-Fi allows you to stay connected as you move indoors however signal strength might vary.

FTTR provides low latency, which means minimal delay when you send a command and get a response. This is vital for activities like gaming, video calls, and streaming, ensuring smooth interactions without noticeable delays.

Indoor Roaming

When you move around indoors with Mesh WiFi, you might experience drops or delays when switching between different connection points.

Experience smooth indoor roaming with FTTR, ensuring a seamless connection unlike Mesh WiFi.
