Types of Home Networks

There are two main types of home networks: wireless (WiFi) and wired an satellite. 

​

​

1. Wireless Home Network

Wireless WiFi home networks are the most popular kind of home networking. There are two main benefits of wireless networks:

• They are compatible with any WiFi-enabled device, including mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets and smart TVs.

• They are incredibly easy to connect to, as they only require a wireless modem.

​

​

2. Wired Home Networks

Wired networks are commonly used in large homes where the WiFi signal can weaken if it needs to pass through walls or travel a great distance. With a wired network we install lots of data points where you need them most – and you can then plug in your computer, printer or other device at these points – except for smart phones and tablets.

However we even have a way around that! We’ll install WiFi modem to a LAN point to extend the reach of your WiFi signal. Combining wired networking with wireless network usually yields the best results.

Benefits of Home Networking

Whether you go for wireless, wired, or a combination of both – you’ll end up with:

• Reliable access to internet and email from any device in any room.

• Simple and fast file sharing between household members.

• Easy access to shared devices like printers and scanners.

• Lower mobile data costs. No need to use your mobile phone data allowance for online access when you’re at home.

Computer and Network Security

With all of the personal information stored on computers today, there’s nothing more important than making sure they’re secure. Protect your financial records, photos, personal emails and other private data from identity thieves by letting us secure your computer for you. We will make sure your systems are locked-down and safe from unauthorized access. What will we do? Here are just a few of the more obvious items:

Set up a unique network name

We will set up a unique network name of your choosing so that you can easily identify yours from others in the surrounding area.

Enable wireless encryption

Using a WPA2 security key (‘Nerd speak’ for the highest level of encryption available for your router), your personal information will be protected from online theft and your internet connection secured against use by others.

Change the default administrator user name and password

All new routers come with a default, factory-set administrator username and password. This makes them relatively insecure and vulnerable to being hacked, potentially putting any personal information stored on your network at risk. Your router’s default username and password will both be updated to ones of your choosing.
