Make Your Home Holiday-Ready with A Network Upgrade

Make sure your family is focused on the holidays instead of trying to get their devices to work

The holidays can be stressful enough as it is, and you don’t want something like your home wireless network to add to your stress. You or your family may receive high-tech gadgets as holiday gifts, and you don’t want your home automation system to slow down right as everyone arrives to visit. 

This doesn’t have to be the case, however. You can get your home ready the holidays with a professional home network installation from WSC Home Audio Video. Here are three ways a network upgrade can benefit everyone in your Virginia Beach, VA home.

MORE INTERNET-ENABLED DEVICES

A great number of internet-enabled devices have hit the market recently, and all of them put additional strain on your home network. Phones, gaming consoles, desktop and laptop computers, speakers and TVs, light fixtures, thermostats, security devices and even some appliances are now ‘smart’ with Internet capability. All of these devices using the bandwidth on your network can cause significant performance issues.

If a single wireless router is all you’re using to cover your home and you haven’t looked at the wiring linking your devices, glitches and slow speeds will occur. Our well-trained staff can restore your network to give you the fastest speeds available anywhere in your home. By installing additional routers and network switches, swapping old components with newer ones and upgrading the wiring in your home, we’ll unlock your network’s full potential.

MORE STREAMING CONTENT

These days, most of the music we listen to and movies we watch come from streaming services. You use Spotify for music, Netflix or Hulu for movies, and so on. Audio and video streaming both require a stable network connection. This is especially true if you want to stream several types or pieces of content at the same time.

If you want to stream 4K UHD video in your home theater, your network connection matters just as much as your TV and other components. An underperforming network will cause pixelated images, long loading times, and all manner of other hassles. Make sure your family can enjoy all the streaming content they want at any time by buffing up your home network.

STRONGER DIGITAL SECURITY

All devices connected to your network are also potential entry points for hackers. To protect yourself from identity theft, malware and other threats, you need a stronger digital security system.

We can help with this, as well. We’ll examine every part of your network to make sure you’re fully protected. In addition to more common security features like firewalls and data encryption, we can install a hidden mesh network in your using Z-Wave or other technologies. Mesh networks connect your devices without relying on your regular Wi-Fi network. This way, the devices are obscured, and you’ll see an increase in network performance as well.

These are just a handful of reasons why your existing home network isn’t up to par. If you’re interested in learning more about our home networking services, give us a call at (954) 650-3074 or visit our contact page.
