A Better Signal and More Bandwidth

Facetiming is frustrating if you have a spotty internet connection. The same is true if you’re on a Zoom call. The problem could be your Wi-Fi signal, your internet bandwidth, or both. For instance, the Wi-Fi signal comes from your router. The further away a device is from the router, the weaker the signal gets. So, if your home office is several rooms away, you could notice problems when doing a video conference, streaming videos, or even browsing the internet.

On the other hand, bandwidth is the amount of “traffic” your home network can handle. If there are too many devices on one network, your connection will be sluggish. Like other people in the Denver area working or doing school from home, you are probably putting more of a strain on your bandwidth: more computers, more phones, and more network activity. All of these contribute to additional network usage, which quickly bogs down a system. A stronger signal and “bigger” bandwidth alleviate most connection problems.

A Smart Home Needs a Stronger Network

Some homes simply require a basic router and internet plan. However, if you have two or more 4K televisions, a few computers, several mobile phone users, and smart technologies, an average home network system won’t suffice. Your home’s smart technologies and connected systems work together to create an environment that adds comfort and enjoyment to your life. When you adjust the smart lighting or motorized shades, you expect them to respond immediately. If it’s time to watch a movie in your home theater, you don’t want buffering problems. And when you join an important video conference call, the last thing you need is a frozen screen or choppy audio.

Fortunately, there are several effective ways to deal with these problems. You could check with your ISP (internet service provider) to see if you can upgrade your internet service plan to get more bandwidth, but that most likely won’t give you the speed or reliability you’re looking for. Perhaps you need a better router that can handle all the traffic. Also, Wi-Fi extenders could expand the reach of your Wi-Fi, reducing poor signals in rooms that are farther away from the router. You might also need to combination of wired and wireless connections, with wires to prioritize devices like work computers, ensuring a smooth Zoom call every time.
