Home Networks: Why it’s important for your household

A home isn’t just four walls and a roof. It’s way more than that. It’s also about things we can’t see.

OK sure, it’s a place where your family shares precious memories and all that, but we’re referring to your home network. Most homes are host to an invisible field of data and communications, all stitched together with WiFi.

How a home network helps?

While home networks are useful, they’re also incredibly frustrating when they don’t work or when your coverage is patchy.

This is where mesh technology comes in! If you’re keen on installing a home network that just won’t quit, give us a call at 1-800-919-6373. We’ll professionally install WiFi tech so that it covers your whole home.

Google WiFi

Google WiFi is perfect if you want a WiFi system which works perfectly with minimal fuss.

While its focus is on simplicity, it comes with surprisingly powerful admin tools which will allow you to add parental controls, throttle your connection to certain devices while prioritizing others and even allocate temporary access to guests.

Just a few hubs placed strategically through your home will set you up with fast, reliable access right where you need it.

Eero Home WiFi System

The Eero approach to home networking is similar to that of Google’s, but it’s more of a mix of old WiFi extender technology and cutting-edge mesh.

Using Eero, you can set up any number of drone units known as Eero Beacons. These plug into any outlet and are great for amplifying your WiFi signal in hard to reach locations.

Questions nerds often hear about Home Networks

I just can’t get WiFi to work in my home. Should I just get network cable installed?

A few years ago, the answer would probably have been yes. These days though mesh technology can work wonders in houses with lots of connection black spots. While cable is still necessary in some cases, this can usually be avoided.

Will I need to get permission to do this with my Internet Service Provider?

No, this isn’t necessary. All the equipment we install will work with (and improve) your connection.

They both look good. Which one should I get?

Both these technologies are fantastic. Which one we recommend will depend on your existing network configuration and your needs. As part of our installation service, we can talk you through the options and arrive at the best choice for you.
