Usually thought of as the easiest thing to set up in a home, getting Wi-Fi that’s reliable is harder than you think.
We work with the best in their field that set up Wi-Fi for a living and we’ve learnt that connectivity itself isn’t enough to have great connection.
Just like anything, Wi-Fi has its limits. The performance can be affected by the house itself and can struggle to be transmitted through different materials.
These are some of the things we do that we recommend for anyone who wants a reliable internet connection in all the rooms:
1.Check connectivity using your postcode. – this enables us to perform a services survey to tell us which provider we can install.
2. Know the wall type. – Older homes with thick insulated walls block Wi-Fi signals but newer homes also have their flaws, with metal framework and wiring misdirecting the signals.
3.Take note of the Number of floors. – More floors = larger distance for Wi-Fi signal.
4.Take note of who will be needing Wi-Fi and on what floor. – Wherever its most needed is where the main router should be.
5.Understand the type of users and their usage in the home. – Is it an adult or children? Toddlers or teens?
6.Be aware of any additional appliances that you will be using that may require internet. – This could include smart fridges or sound systems, but doing this will ensure you get a Wi-Fi router that really suits your household.
Working with the right company during the installation is important because they’ll consider all of this for you, but finding them will take time.
