ARRIS WC4S Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System: Wi-Fi speed up to 3.8 Gbps
For the family tired of Wi-Fi dead zones that disrupt video calls and streaming, this mesh system transforms your home network into a reliable hub. While many focus on raw speed, we designed it for seamless daily life—keeping your work-from-home setup stable, your kids' online classes uninterrupted, and your smart devices responsive without lag.
The tri-band technology acts like three dedicated lanes on a highway, with one lane reserved solely for communication between nodes to maintain a strong 1 Gbps backhaul. This means your 4K movie streams smoothly even when someone is gaming upstairs, and the Alexa compatible features integrate effortlessly for voice-controlled routines. In practice, the system adjusts automatically as you move, so your video call won't drop when you walk from the kitchen to the backyard.
Set up is straightforward with the SURFboard Central app, which lets you monitor connected devices, set parental controls like screen time limits, and create guest networks. You'll appreciate the who's home alerts that notify you when family members connect, adding a layer of connectivity beyond just internet access. With coverage up to 5,500 sq ft and two 1 Gbps ports per node, it supports everything from smart home gadgets to high-demand activities, ensuring your network grows with your needs.
