EnGenius is a well-known name in the telecoms industry, where it provides high-end equipment for long-range wireless networks. However, the company also has a number of products designed for home users, and it has now – somewhat belatedly – jumped on the mesh networking bandwagon with its Whole Home Mesh Router EMR3000.

The EMR3000 takes the same approach as most of its mesh rivals, providing you with a kit that contains three identical routers, which can be placed in different rooms or locations around your home and then linked together in order to provide wider, more reliable Wi-Fi coverage than the basic Wi-Fi router that was provided by your broadband supplier.

You’ll need to hang on to your existing router though, as the EMR3000 routers don’t contain a modem, so you still have to connect one of the routers – known as the ‘master’ – to your existing router in order to use its internet connection.
