Whole-Home Wi-Fi Provides a Fast and Reliable Home Network
Ensure Corner-to-Corner Coverage for Your Smart Home
Today, our homes are more connected than ever, with the average U.S. household possessing about 22 connected devices. In a smart home, that number rises significantly.
As the demand on our home networks grows, signs that suggest it can no longer keep up become apparent. At first, these signs may be easy to ignore. Then, they start affecting our smart home or interrupting business meetings in the home office.
Let’s explore the signs that suggest you need a whole-home Wi-Fi upgrade and the solutions available for your home in McAllen, TX.

A Home Network Under Duress
The first signs to appear include slow webpage downloads and the dreaded buffering icon when streaming your favorite programs. While somewhat annoying, these issues may not warrant taking action. Instead, you pause the show or wait patiently for the data to download. These delays may occur due to slow internet speeds, a weak Wi-Fi signal, or additional devices connected to the internet.
A sure sign of the latter is when slow downloads occur only after the kids start playing their favorite video game. Other signs include losing the connection when you try to work in the bedroom or out on the patio. When the lack of bandwidth starts affecting your smart home, it's clear it's time for an upgrade. This may come in the form of voice commands that fail to respond or delayed security notifications.
Enterprise-Grade Solutions
Networking equipment supplied by the local internet service provider tends to be a one-size-fits-all approach and is rarely customized to your unique needs. The modems and Wi-Fi routers may offer a fairly reliable solution until more connected devices are added to the home.
Additionally, larger homes or those with unique construction possess different needs, and signal-blocking materials, like concrete, may require unique solutions. Ultimately, you find the network equipment doesn’t provide the reliability, range, speed, or security your connected home requires. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to ensure your smart home has the connectivity it needs to function smoothly.
