hoping for help

can the technology be explained how the  home  deco (located beside ISP) can talk to a remote deco wirelessly when wifi from my ISP router cannot reach that location / only have weak signal? i suppose that's exactly the point of mesh but just curious how it works.

also should I expect the same signal strength throughout my house when using mesh(e.g. going through concrete walls), as I am receiving in the location my ISP is at? or will it be always weaker regardless at remote locations?

 

thanks in advance

WiFi mesh is a group of WiFi range extenders that are working together to provide seamless WiFi network coverage around home.

 

To understand how WiFi mesh works it is necessary to learn how WiFi range extenders work. There is plenty of info on that topic if you Google it, but I have found for you an easy to digest article that I would suggest you read first. 

It will have the answer to your question under the section "How do Wi-Fi extenders work?" That answer applies to WiFi mesh, too.

In the middle of that article you'll find phrase "Another option is a mesh WiFi network that uses multiple, smaller routers to create a network of wireless signals around your home" with the link to the article about WiFi mesh systems.

I would recommend reading "WiFi Extender 101" article till the end, and then follow the link to read about mesh WiFi, now that you have general understanding of WiFi range extenders.

 

If after reading these two articles you have questions, specific to Deco mesh, feel free to ask them here.

If you find you need more detailed overview of general principles of WiFi routers and WiFi mesh technology, perhaps Google can help better.
