WiFi 6 mesh · TP-Link HX520

WiFi also reaches the back bedroom

Having 600 megas is useless if it's going to stutter in the kitchen. Prime Wifi spreads the signal throughout the house with several units that make a single network, and we install it for you.

The difference

This is not a repeater

Almost everyone has tried that thirty-euro gadget before. That's why it's worth explaining how they're alike and how they're not.

A repeater

The one on the shelf, the one you bought that time

  • It creates a second network with another name, and you have to switch manually.
  • It repeats what it hears: if you put it where signal is already bad, it spreads badly.
  • It usually cuts the speed in half, because it listens and broadcasts at the same time.
  • Your phone stays stuck to the bad network even when you're next to the good one.
  • If it fails, it's yours: you turn it off and back on and hope it works.

Prime Wifi (mesh)

Several units that coordinate with each other

  • A single network and a single password throughout the house.
  • Your phone switches to the closest unit automatically, in less than three-tenths of a second.
  • The units connect to each other by WiFi or by network cable, if you have one.
  • WiFi 6: many devices at once without interfering with each other.
  • If it fails, we see it from here and often fix it without moving.

Who handles it

You up front, us behind the scenes

You handle the day-to-day from your mobile. We handle the boring stuff without bothering you.

You, from the app

The Aginet app, on your mobile, no need to call anyone.

  • Change the WiFi name and password whenever you want.
  • Create a separate guest network, with its own password.
  • Parental control: block content and set schedules by device.
  • See who's connected and kick out whoever shouldn't be there.

Us, from here

This is what you can't do with a device bought on the internet.

  • See if a unit has lost connection before you notice it.
  • Change the channel if your neighbor's WiFi is interfering with it.
  • Update its firmware without you having to do anything.
  • Diagnose over the phone instead of sending you a technician.

Remote management is of the equipment, not your browsing. We see how the network is —links, channels, firmware— not what you do with it. It's the same management the manufacturer gives operators to be able to provide support.

How many you need

It depends on the house, not the meters

A stone wall gets in the way more than twenty meters of hallway. This is the reference; the technician will confirm it in your home.

One unit

Single-storey flat, straightforward layout and standard walls.

4 €/month

Two units

Two storeys, L-shaped house, or stone and solid brick walls. This is the most common.

8 €/month

Three units

Large house with attic or basement, or if you want coverage to reach the patio or garage too.

12 €/month

Start with one and add if needed. You don't have to get it right first time: you put one in, test it for a few days and, if there's a weak spot, you add another unit for 4 € more a month. You don't have to change or reconfigure anything that's already set up.

Questions

What you ask us

Isn't this just one of those 30 € repeaters?

No, and that's the difference you'll notice most. A repeater creates a second network with a different name, you have to switch manually and you normally lose half the speed because it repeats what it hears. Mesh is several units that form a single network: your phone switches from one to another on its own, in less than three tenths of a second, and you won't even notice.

How many units do I need?

It depends on the house, not the square metres. A normal single-storey flat usually works with one. Two storeys, an L-shaped house or stone walls call for two. If there's an attic or basement, three. We'll look at it with you and, if you need another one later, you add it: it's one euro more a month per unit and you don't have to change anything that's already there.

Does it work with my router or does it replace it?

Both are possible. The HX520 works as a router (replaces the one you have) or as an access point (connects to the one you already have). The technician decides based on how your installation is set up, and either way your network ends up with a single name.

What if it breaks?

We'll replace it. As long as you're a customer, the equipment is our responsibility: you're not buying a device that stops being supported in three years, you have it in service.

Can you see what I do online?

No. Remote management is of the equipment, not your traffic: it's used to see if a unit has lost its link, what channel it's broadcasting on or if there's interference from your neighbour, and to update its firmware. We can't see what you browse.

Can I set up parental controls or a guest network?

Yes, you can do it yourself from the app. Parental control blocks content and sets schedules by device, and the guest network is a separate WiFi with its own password, so visitors don't get into yours.

Tell us where you're not getting coverage.

Tell us what your house is like and which room the signal drops in, and we'll tell you how many units you need. If one is enough, we'll tell you one is enough.
