Keep your home connected.
Bring your home network and supported backup connections into the plan, so you know what needs power and what needs outside service.

One possible configuration.
Use this diagram to understand the relationships. Equipment is selected for the home, and not every component is needed in every installation.
HOW IT COULD HELP
When the main connection drops.
Your primary internet service becomes unavailable.
Use a configured backup connection where supported, while local home coordination continues.
Fewer things to work out during an interruption.
An example of the intended experience. Results depend on compatible equipment and your home.
THE SIMPLE VERSION
What goes into the plan.
- 01
Connect the home
Review Wi-Fi coverage and essential devices.
- 02
Support the network
Include routers and other network equipment in backup planning.
- 03
Consider a fallback
Assess a second service, such as cellular or satellite.
NO NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
A practical place to start.
Start with the rooms or devices that lose connection. Improve the basics before deciding whether a backup internet service is worthwhile.
A little more detail.
Does mesh Wi-Fi replace an internet connection?
No. Mesh Wi-Fi helps spread a connection around your home. Internet comes from a service provider. Satellite or cellular can be a separate connection, but needs suitable equipment, service and power.
What equipment could be included?
Supported routers, mesh Wi-Fi nodes, gateways, satellite internet terminals, backup links, and power or connectivity monitoring.
What needs to be checked for my home?
- Local and external connections that essential devices require.
- Actual backup coverage, provider availability, and power demand.
- Supported failover actions and priority traffic requirements.
What should I know about the limits?
The goal is to maintain useful local coordination and support suitable backup connections, with power and service availability included in the plan.
