LEGEND:

• A Mesh device is essentially a WiFi router, also called an Access Point, or Range Extender.
• Multiple Access Points broadcasting the same SSID = a Mesh Network.
• SSID = WiFi network name

All existing Mesh Systems & Range Extenders will work with your Kibosh.

TIP: for long physical connections (from house to barn for example) use a WiFi point-2-point Wireless Bridge. They are easy to setup and work very well even in inclement weather.

Example WiFi Bridge: TP-Link Omada Point 2 Point Outdoor Bridge ($120)
