TL;DR
Mesh node placement is the positioning of the satellite units in a whole-home Wi-Fi system so each node gets a strong link to its neighbor while extending coverage into dead zones. The working rule is one node every 1,500 to 2,000 square feet or per floor, placed in the open at least partway between the router and the weak area — never inside the dead zone itself, where it would relay a poor signal.
What it means
Mesh node placement is the positioning of the satellite units in a whole-home Wi-Fi system so each node gets a strong link to its neighbor while extending coverage into dead zones. The working rule is one node every 1,500 to 2,000 square feet or per floor, placed in the open at least partway between the router and the weak area — never inside the dead zone itself, where it would relay a poor signal. Techs verify the layout with a signal survey and by checking each unit's reported backhaul quality.
