Here’s How to Ensure Robust and Reliable Connectivity

At the heart of any well-connected, modern property is your home networking. It’s a crucial system that keeps all the devices in your Tampa-area smart home running smoothly and in sync. The number of devices relying on this network has skyrocketed in recent years, often pushing it to its limits. You may even notice it when a movie starts to buffer or a video call gets choppy.

The team at AV Specialists is here to solve your networking concerns. We design and implement robust, reliable, and secure networking configurations that can not only meet today's demands but also prepare for future innovations. 

By integrating hardwiring, you can take the overwhelming demand off your wireless network and achieve high-performance connectivity when and where you need it most! Let’s explore why hardwiring is necessary for residential networks and why people prefer it when considering their well-being.

The Importance of Hardwiring Your Home Network

When setting up your high-tech home, opting for hardwired connections can significantly boost your network's reliability and speed. This approach enhances the performance of heavy-duty tasks like streaming high-definition video or audio by ensuring faster connections with minimal latency. Plus, it frees up your Wi-Fi for devices that thrive on wireless connections, such as smart thermostats, light switches, and security cameras.

Imagine a setup where each television has its own dedicated hardwired link, and every room boasts at least one Ethernet connection. The benefits extend beyond speed and reliability, though, and are inherently more secure. Because access to data requires physical connectivity, it’s far more challenging for intruders to breach your network. This makes Ethernet an excellent choice for protecting sensitive information while providing a robust backbone for your home's technology ecosystem.

Wi-Fi and Health Issues

Our networking experts have noted a growing client concern when setting up a home network. More people than ever are asking about the adverse effects of Wi-Fi and the health issues it could cause. 

While several studies have concluded that there is no solid evidence of adverse health effects from wireless signals and the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF EMR) emitted by Wi-Fi devices, others are inconclusive. Some report that exposure to Wi-Fi can increase the production of free radicals, which are unstable atoms that can damage cells and result in illnesses and aging. It’s also been shown to potentially affect sperm count and motility. 

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, limiting exposure to RF EMR by reducing the amount of Wi-Fi signals and radio waves can, if nothing else, reduce restlessness and prompt a better night’s sleep.
