A strong home network has never been more important than it is now. Working from home, online schooling, online gaming, streaming services, and web browsing all use precious bandwidth from a home's Wi-Fi system. During a home’s construction, wires can be fed to various sections of the home to improve Wi-Fi connectivity.
Most homes over 3000 square feet have a footprint that is too large for one single router to reach. If the router was placed in the center of the home, the corners would have spotty Wi-Fi connections due to the distance between the device and router. Not only is distance an issue, but the walls also create a barrier that the Wi-Fi has to travel through.
During the planning stage, we can help map out the locations of more wireless access points. These access points are wired with CAT6 cables back to the main router and provide another source of Wi-Fi. When these are spaced correctly around a home they produce a Wi-Fi network that has fast speeds in every room of a home. Wireless access points can even be placed outdoors for fast Wi-Fi by the pool or on the patio. It is important to do this during the construction phase of a home due to the long runs of cable required to connect the access points.

A strong Wi-Fi network is becoming more important as we enter the future. Consider wiring for more wireless access points when building your next home. It will make your client much happier in the long run when they can browse the web from anywhere in their home with less connection problems. Not to mention, more and more smart devices are being placed in homes that use precious bandwidth. Everything from Sonos speakers to automated shades need a certain amount of bandwidth to work properly.
