Is Your Home Network Keeping Pace with Current Traffic?

With the current health crisis, everyone is spending time at home. And spending time at home means connecting to typical activities over the internet. Where once the family was at work, school, after-school activities, the gym, or restaurants, it’s all happening at home now, at the same time.

The last thing any family wants is to have sputtering connectivity. Whether it’s mom and dad’s Zoom or Skype video meetings, the kids’ connections to school sites and e-learning platforms, or buffering videos when it's time to unwind, in the current environment, robust network connections are more critical than ever.

Fortunately, you can help your Atlanta home network installation cope with today’s increased traffic. Read on to see how!

Pro-Level Solutions

Many homes rely on equipment provided by their internet service provider. Many of these packaged solutions tend to be “one-size-fits-all” approaches. They’ll work in the average home and average environment. But your home may be anything but average, in size, construction, or layout – and all those things can affect network performance.

For example, one approach to improving home network performance is employing network access points. By installing wireless access points for every 1000 to 1500 square feet of space, you can dramatically improve signal strength and connection speeds. If you like to be well connected outdoors for either work or entertainment, you should consider adding them outside as well.

Not all networking equipment is created equal. Commercial quality network equipment, which is what Sunbelt Technology installs in businesses and organizations, provides far better performance, capacity, and longevity. We recommend and install commercial networking equipment for trouble-free, robust residential applications.

Don't underestimate the importance of software in networking solutions. Commercial-quality routers, switches, access points, and other gear employ robust software that's frequently updated. These products also make it easier to deploy advanced features like traffic prioritization, firewalls for added security, and remote monitoring and updating. Remote management capabilities let us monitor and diagnose your network and fix issues remotely, without entering your home.

The Latest Technology

Networking technology continues to evolve with ever-increasing performance and capacity. Newer wireless standards like Wi-Fi 6, coming in the devices like the latest iPhones, promise a higher ability to handle multiple streams at once and very high wireless speeds that approach wired performance. That translates to improved real-world performance where you have many personal devices, computers, smart devices, and intelligent appliances all vying for bandwidth on your home network.

Technology that’s not applied correctly will not help. Sunbelt Technology assesses your current network, how many connections you currently have and may have in the future, as well as how you use connectivity to determine a home network solution customized to your needs.
