WiFi Networks: Getting fast internet

WiFi is amazing. When it works!

Routers a few years ago were great at sending a decent signal out to a fairly limited area. Provided you didn’t have too many walls and other barriers separating you from the router, you could probably hope for a workable wireless connection.

The moment you moved too far away though, that connection disappeared quicker than a ninja on a moonless night.

WiFi networking has come a long way though. Nowadays you can purchase a mesh system which can push fast and reliable WiFi out to every corner of your house. Two excellent products we’ll look at are Google WiFi and the Eero Home WiFi System.

Before delving into that though, remember that we are gurus when it comes to installing and hooking up WiFi throughout your whole home. If you’re fed up with your current WiFi system, just give us a call on 1-800-919-6373 or reach out using our contact form.

How does Google WiFi work?

Unless you’ve been living under an incredibly large rock with a pair of industrial strengths ear-muffs stuck to your head, you’ve probably heard of Google. They help you find stuff on the Internet.

They also happen to be a highly innovative producer of cool tech, including their flagship connectivity product, Google WiFi.

Google are experts at making things easy to use, and Google WiFi is no exception. In the space of a few minutes you can set up a mesh of these units throughout your whole home, and they’ll just work!

Google WiFi is perfect for families who just want a connection which works with a minimum of fuss.

If you need some extra slick functionality like prioritized devices or having your printers available from every computer in your home, we can do a more advanced installation and set up for you.

How Eero Home WiFi works?

The Eero Home WiFi System is similar. It works on the same idea of setting up a mesh of connection points throughout your home.

However, this system gives you two devices to choose from—standard routers and a smaller, pared-down unit called an Eero Beacon, which is perfect for “painting” a hard to reach room, with an added burst of connection strength.

It’s a little more complex to set up, but it’s a neat option if your home is plagued with several hard to reach WiFi connection locations.

Setting Up Wifi Networks

Both these technologies will do a splendid job of giving you a fast, reliable, hassle-free connection.

The secret sauce though is setting them up right!

We can help you by not only getting you a great deal on one of these WiFi systems but also coming out to your home and installing it perfectly for you. We’ll hook up all your TVs and peripherals too, making sure they work together perfectly.

Questions nerds often hear about WiFi 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.
