Overview

Wi-Fi has become a critical part of your home network that you rely on each and every day. Your laptops, smart phones, tablets, web cam, smart tv’s, gaming devices, and even your thermostat, all connect to your Internet connection via Wi-Fi.

Often we don’t think about the increasing number of devices that we are connecting to our Wi-Fi. Historically, we relied on wired connections to do the heavy lifting, but, in today’s wireless environment, we need a reliable, secure Wi-Fi network to provide coverage throughout your home.

The Problem

With just one Wi-Fi access point in your home, devices further from the access point will suffer poor connectivity. Also, the built-in Wi-Fi radios in most standard routers have limitations in terms of speed and client capacity (how many of your devices it can support simultaneously).
If you’re paying for high speed internet service, don’t let poor Wi-Fi coverage slow you down.

The Solution

Not a network extender, a mesh network.

Coverage

To get the most out of your Rock Island Internet service, take advantage of our Managed Mesh system. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi, which relies on a single access point (AP) to provide coverage, our Managed Mesh utilizes multiple access points placed at strategic locations around your home to create a smart and seamless Mesh network; no more dead zones or buffering TVs.

Smart Steering

Intelligent dual-band mesh consistently analyzes the location, status, and performance of each connected device, actively handing off clients to the optimal Access Point as needed to ensure maximum performance.
If a dual-band capable device, like an iPhone or iPad, is settling for a connection on the slower 2.4GHz band, the AirTies system automatically steers this device to the 5GHz band not only improving the throughput performance of that particular device but also alleviating congestion on the 2.4GHz band.

Industry-Leading Support

There are several options for mesh Wi-Fi on the market today and we have tested a lot of them. We found that the AirTies product is the best of the best, not only in performance but in support. You can pick up a mesh system and set it up yourself, but if you have trouble with it, you’re on your own to troubleshoot. Our management tool gives us robust data on your home network, enabling our friendly local team to resolve any Wi-Fi issues that may arise.

 

Hardware Tech Specs
