Wi-Fi CERTIFIED EasyMesh™ enables self-adapting Wi-Fi®

 Wi-Fi Alliance^® is adding new features to Wi-Fi CERTIFIED EasyMesh™, bringing new capabilities to further improve the Wi-Fi^® user experience in multiple access point networks. Wi-Fi EasyMesh^™ implements a standards-based approach, combining easy to use, self-adapting Wi-Fi with a flexible design, easy setup, and enhanced network intelligence.
Wi-Fi EasyMesh benefits both consumers and service providers by delivering full coverage networks that intelligently manage resources with minimal user intervention.

New features available now for Wi-Fi EasyMesh include:

• Data traffic separation – enables secure separation of private household Wi-Fi and guest Wi-Fi while sharing internet access
• Enhanced client steering with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Agile Multiband™ – improves roaming experience when a user moves from one Wi-Fi access point to another
• Coordinated channel availability – makes best use of the available Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels and minimizes network disruption
• Diagnostic support for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Data Elements™ - enables delivery of network analytics and key performance indicators gathered from Wi-Fi Data Elements™, improving device management for service providers

“Wi-Fi Alliance certification programs continue to evolve to ensure the technology portfolio meets the needs of the market,” said Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO, Wi-Fi Alliance. “Programs like
Wi-Fi EasyMesh are enabling smarter home Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED allows Wi-Fi networks accommodate a greater selection of interoperable devices across brands.”

Once established, the network self-monitors to ensure optimized performance. Leveraging mechanisms from Wi-Fi Agile Multiband™, Wi-Fi EasyMesh can guide devices to the access point providing the best service for that device. Wi-Fi EasyMesh networks can also modify the network’s structure based on changing conditions to provide a consistent experience. Wi-Fi EasyMesh delivers greater device flexibility by allowing users to choose from interoperable Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ products across brands.
