I had spotty coverage in my office which is located on the opposite side of my home from my router. This little guy was a life saver, perfect signal and I like the benefit of added security.
What are mesh routers?
They are a high-speed Wi-Fi solution designed to cover your whole home and eliminate dead zones. They can be used alone or in groups. How many you get, and whether you get dual or tri-band, depends on your home size and the internet speed you want.
What does dual-band vs. tri-band mean?
A dual-band router transmits 2 simultaneous wireless signals in your home: one at the 2.4GHz band and one at 5GHz. Tri-band gives you 3 signals, one at 2.4GHz and 2 at 5GHz. More signals mean you can handle more Internet traffic in your home.
What are the system requirements? How will it interact with my current ISP?
All you need is an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the modem that comes with it, and a device that you can use to access the Secure Connect app. You'll also need outlets where you are placing your Wi-Fi points.
How does Onelink Connect improve my network security?
True to First Alert's legacy of home safety and protection, the system places a premium on security by creating a closed, private network to help detect and prevent cyber-threats and hacks. The technology scans every outbound connection from the network to analyze URLs and IP addresses to detect malicious traffic and infected machines. Users are notified of any potentially suspect activity and, if restricted settings are enabled, it can block any questionable content.
How frequently does Onelink Connect check security alerts?
Onelink Connect is continuously monitoring your network for malicious activity. If malicious activity is present, you will be notified via the Onelink Connect app.
What does the Emergency Override feature do?
The Emergency Override feature works with the Onelink Safe & Sound to automatically override screens on most smart TVs, tablets, and smart phones connected to Onelink Connect in the event of a smoke or carbon monoxide emergency.
What's in the box? Is installation easy?
Connect includes Wi-Fi point(s), power adapters, and an Ethernet cable. Position your Wi-Fi points where you want them, plug them in, connect one with your current modem, and download the Connect app to finish setup and control your Wi-Fi.
