WorldLink Photon 300 Plans and Pricing
Mesh Wi-Fi systems don’t come cheap. The same can be expected here. The charges of the Mesh routers alone are very expensive and on top of that, WorldLink is charging Rs. 3,000 just for the installation, that also if only 2 or less than 2 mesh routers are installed.

What is Mesh Wi-Fi System?
Mesh Wi-Fi system is a Wi-Fi system that is built to give Wi-Fi coverage to every corner of your house—eliminating dead zones—using multiple mesh routers.
Difference Between a Mesh Wi-Fi Router and a Traditional Range Extender or Secondary Router?
Traditional secondary routers just repeat the Wi-Fi signal to a limited area. And for every router added as a range extender, you need to create a separate network with a separate SSID.
Whereas, with the Mesh Wi-Fi routers, all the routers act as the same network, so you don’t have to keep switching Wi-Fi networks.
Traditional routers broadcast Wi-Fi from a single point. When used as a repeater, the router has to route requests through multiple networks.
But mesh Wi-Fi systems have multiple access points capturing and rebroadcasting the router’s signal, so all the access points broadcast the same signal, minimizing the lag.
Do I Need Mesh Wi-Fi System?
If you have a large home, with multiple thick brick walls and with multiple stories, then yes. You might need a Mesh Wi-Fi system to cover all the corners of your house.
A traditional router alone would not be able to cover all the areas of a such large house. Hence, you may encounter dead zones.
But if you live in a small house, then the mesh Wi-Fi system would be overkill.
