Infrastructure Setup

A strong home network depends on a robust infrastructure solution. At WSC Home Audio Video, our techs can build your network’s foundation with a hardwired setup and optimal router placement. We do recommend a wired network solution because a wired connection is more secure and reliable than a wireless one. A wired solution ensures that your most important devices — like your computer and home automation system — have stable connections while working from home or using smart devices. 

Once we’ve laid a hardwired base, we can add wireless access points throughout your home to expand stronger signals and even coverage in every room.  

Added Security Features

An unsecured home network leaves you vulnerable to hackers who can break into your system and access your files, account passwords and documents. Hackers can also access and remotely control connected smart devices when they breach your network. 

When you hire a professional like WSC Home Audio Video, we’ll build security firewalls into your network installation, so that your system will be protected no matter how many users or devices are on the network. During installation, we can set up a separate guest network for friends, babysitters, relatives and visitors to use while at your house. 

Streamlined Integration

A professional integrator simplifies the process of connecting devices to your home network. Today, more home functions than ever before rely on the Internet of Things: audio/video systems, lighting control, security systems, climate control and other smart devices. If you’ve already hired a professional integrator to make network updates, then there’s no better time to integrate home automation and other smart house features.

Your integrator will make sure all wired and wireless smart devices and systems are connected to your network and updated with the latest firmware and software. And when you’re ready to expand your smart home in the future — by adding outdoor entertainment, for example — the installation will be a breeze with an integration team already familiar with the back end of your home network.
