WiFi and Networking

Maybe you’ve got a big house, or an old house with thick lath and plaster walls, or a large, industrial workspace, a restaurant, or a backyard granny unit or workshop, and the wireless internet that you have currently just isn’t cutting it. It drops out somewhere on the second floor, or out by the pool, or in your kid’s room when they are streaming Netflix, or in the back bedroom, or on the patio where your employee is trying to process a payment on a wireless tablet. What can be done?

Recent advanced in WiFi technology such the new high speed wireless AC standard have increased the speed and coverage of wireless networks for both home users and small businesses. However, wireless routers provided by internet service providers are still woefully inadequate and suffer from poor performance, reliability, and a dearth of features. For those with larger areas to cover or older buildings, it is often necessary to upgrade your router to a more powerful model, or implement a new mesh WiFi system like those offered by Netgear’s Orbi, Google WiFi, Asus, TP-Link, Belkin, Linksys and others.

Last but not least, wired networks are still superior in performance and reliability. While mesh networks are popular for their ease of use and relatively cable free setup, there is no substitute for a wireless network built around hardwired access points like Ubiquiti Network’s UniFi system. Also, with growing support for the new 10GbE standard by Apple and other PC manufacturers, clients in professional video editing and other content creation fields may want to consider upgrading their NAS and networks to take advantage of the performance benefits 10GbE will bring.
