Home is where the Wi-Fi is, and depending on the age, size and layout of your home, signals might not reach all corners. That's a common problem, which is why mesh networks have started to catch on in a big way. By deploying a base station and "mesh points," you can greatly improve connectivity.

And guess what? You just clicked your way into a chance to win your very own mesh network from the awesome folks at Ubiquiti Networks.

The AmpliFi HD Mesh Wi-Fi System consists of a seriously cool-looking router base station and two similarly stylish access points, all of them designed to blanket your house in speedy Wi-Fi goodness.

Sound good? Here's what you have the chance to win this week:

I haven't had the chance to try this gear myself, but from what I've read, it's very easy to install and very good at filling your home with Wi-Fi signals.
