EML5: Wifi "Mesh" technology

Hello everyone! I'm trying to figure out what is wifi mesh exactly and can't really find answers. I'm wondering if it's a real tech or just a nomination, example: if I'm setting up multiple old wifi routers on the same local network with DHCP turned off (except on the main of course) and just put the same SSID and passphrase on all of them: could we call it a mesh wifi or does the technology really add something to it? I made my parents buy some TP-LINK Deco wifi mesh routers for their property ^(which I regret now because openwrt is not compatible but that's a other story) and I don't really see any difference from them and the basic wifi repeater(cable) I've put in a last dead zone.

Solarized theme?

(with the hide read posts option enabled) Sometimes I just don't want to vote because I don't have much opinion on the quality of the post or if it's the same post just another @instance

What's the mob policy on Emojis here on the fediverse?

Like a lot of people here, I'm coming from the rexodus and I was just wondering if we still have to lynch people using emojis in their comments? Just trying to build my personality to fit this new community! Don't mind explaining why, a yes or no will be enough, I'm not capable of any thoughts process anyway thanks in advance for the answer.
