MERCUSYS' Halo H1500X triple pack is a mesh whole-home Wi-Fi system aimed at getting more consistent coverage than a single router can manage. It sits in the budget end of the mesh market, competing with entry-level kits from the likes of TP-Link Deco and Tenda, and is best thought of as a coverage upgrade rather than a peak-speed upgrade.

Who is this for?

If you've got Wi-Fi dead spots upstairs, in a loft room, or at the far end of a long terrace, three mesh units can spread the signal more evenly by placing nodes where your devices actually are. That usually means fewer drop-outs on video calls and more reliable streaming, because devices can connect to a nearer node instead of clinging to a weak signal from the main router.

• 3-unit mesh kit: better suited to larger homes than a single-router setup.
• Whole-home system: intended to keep one network running across rooms, reducing the need to manually switch networks.
