Mesh Wi-Fi Installation
Connected Craftsman installs eero mesh Wi-Fi systems — node placement, wired or wireless backhaul, and guest network setup — for homeowners in Downingtown and across Chester County, PA. We walk your home first to find the dead zones, then figure out how many nodes you actually need and where they need to go, including coverage at your smart locks, doorbells, and thermostats.

What's involved
We start with a walkthrough to identify dead zones — often driven by the same older-home construction that shows up elsewhere in our work, like plaster-and-lath walls or masonry that blocks a standard router's signal. Most homes need 2–4 nodes depending on size and layout. If running cable is feasible, wired backhaul (ethernet between nodes) is generally more reliable than wireless backhaul, and that's a decision point we'll walk through with you based on your home's layout.

What homeowners should know first
This is the service that makes your other smart-home devices actually work well — locks, doorbells, cameras, and thermostats all need reliable Wi-Fi coverage right where they're mounted, and a doorbell at the front door or a lock at a side entrance is a common dead-zone location. If you're adding mesh Wi-Fi to a home with existing smart devices, or planning to install some, that's worth factoring into node placement. Two other decisions worth knowing about up front: whether you're replacing your ISP's modem/router outright or adding mesh nodes alongside what you already have, and — for larger smart-home installs with a lot of connected devices — guest network setup and device-limit planning.
Cost
Pricing is tiered by node count: a standard 2–3 node home is one tier, while a larger home or property needing 4+ nodes or wired backhaul is a higher tier. Exact pricing is confirmed after a quick look at your specific home and Wi-Fi dead zones.“We hired this company to install an eero mesh wifi. Did a wonderful job on time, very polite and professional.”

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace my current router?
Not necessarily — mesh systems can often be added alongside your existing modem/router. Whether that makes sense for your setup, or a full replacement is the better path, is something we'll figure out together.How many nodes does my home need?
Most homes need 2–4 nodes depending on size and layout — we do a walkthrough to identify dead zones and figure out the right count and placement for your home.Will this fix the dead zone where my doorbell or lock is?
That's exactly the kind of spot mesh Wi-Fi is built to fix — entry points are a common dead zone, and we account for your existing or planned smart devices when planning node placement.Do you set up the guest network too?
Yes — guest network setup is part of the configuration, especially for larger smart-home installs where device-limit planning matters.What if I already own eero hardware?
We can typically work with eero hardware you already own — let us know what you have when scheduling so we can plan the visit around it.Serving Chester County
