Network cabling 101

The safest and most reliable way to enjoy the fastest internet speed is to hard wire any and every computer, home theater in the family room, dedicated home cinema component and accessory you have in your home. This biggest benefit of a home network installation this that your Netflix, Hulu or Youtube videos will stream to your Bluray, Roku, Apple TV, or media server without hesitation. In addition, you will be getting the speed you are paying for from your cable provider.

These devices have been joined by media streamers, cloud storage, security systems, wireless cameras, and automation hubs known as the Internet of Things, or IoT. Adding these Internet of Things brings new issues with the buffering of video and the stuttering of your favorite music playlist.

The biggest challenge is getting the wiring to each of these devices. That is where we come in to simplify this for you.

Our team has a way of organizing things in a systematic form that most engineers envy.

So if your WiFi is not giving you these results, you are throwing hundreds of dollars away.

Ethernet cabling for the home network installation

Without sounding too technical the cable companies are busy digging up the streets adding things to give you this thing called gigabit technology, or Cox calls it gigablast. ATT calls it being a gagillionare. California is one of the first states to get this, so it would be prudent to be ready for it if you are in the stages of new construction, remodel, or if you feel that your internet is slow.

Part of this process is this thing called “home runs”. What this means is that there is a central location in the center of the house like a spare closet, that all the wires from each of the rooms come to a central panel that distributes the internet. Kinda like this one that you may already have from your previous contractor.

So our job is to organize, label and identify how to make it more efficient and the fastest internet available in your area. When we are done, it looks more like this.

Think of it like the legs of a spider with many legs that reaches out to each of the rooms, but the body of the spider is in the middle of the house. As part of our home network installation design services, we provide you with all the details on how to do this with a laundry list of components you will need to launch the fastest internet in your home.

What about my 4k streaming content?

Good question. Up until a few years ago, the only content was enabled using the Sony 4k media streamer. But now there is a new kids on the block that will give you whatever 4k is available without a hiccup.

One of many is Roku Player, Amazon Fire 4k and others. This black beauty has the horsepower to push 4 times the resolution of the latest 1080p resolution.

Cat 6 wiring for your home network installation

So here is my 2 cents on whether you should wire with cat 5e or pay more for the newer cat 6 wiring. If you are in the new construction phase, run cat 5e along with a conduit system so that in the future you can upgrade to cat-who knows what they will call it. Otherwise I would suggest installing cat 6 wiring. This way you are assured that you will have the best wiring at least for the next 7 years. But to make a fair comparison we suggest pickup up the phone and giving us a call so that we can evaluate what is the best solution for your home network installation.

Setting up a wireless network for handheld devices

Since we all live with smartphones, iPads, Kindle fire HD tablets, as well as the Internet of Things I mentioned, and other various devices that are design to give you everything you want including the kitchen sink in the palm of your hand, setting up your wireless network is a necessity.

Think of wi-fi similar to a two lane highway. So the slowest device on the road dictates the speed of it. If your favorite playlist is behind your wireless printer, then it stutters, the Netflix dial spins and spins. Is there a solution?

Fortunately, we have the perfect devices called access points that are part of home management network installation that seamlessly integrate and discreetly reside by looking like a smoke detector.

What is even more exciting is that now we have a mesh wireless system that does no require any additional wiring to install the high speed access points.

One thing we should point out and strongly advise against is that if you are using something called a wireless extender, you are critically cutting in half you internet speed. If your WiFi ends in a EXT or a -2 you are in serious trouble.

You are paying good money for high speed internet, the minute this little guy gets installed in your house, you might as well call your internet provider to request that they double your speed. For more detailed information, here is the Top 5 mistakes with wireless networking.

We strongly recommend getting rid of this as quickly as possible and pick up the phone and give us a call at 858-764-2648 or shoot us a text to find you a better way to provide you a more reliable wireless network solution

What is the best modem?

Since the cable companies love to nickel and dime you to death slowly by charging you a rental fee for everything, the best investment is to get you own modem. The number one reason is that this is the pipeline that gives you the fastest speed available from your provider. We recommend the SB 8200 model which is available through us or Amazon.

For those of you that are about to switch from AT&T Uverse to Time Warner/Spectrum or Cox you will need to have a modem that will handle that kind of speed. That is why we chose this one that will handle up to 2 Gps on the download speed and 32 traffic lanes.

***News Flash! Cox cable customers can now have 1.3Gps speed*** what better time to upgrade than now.

What is the best wireless router?

Your router is similar to a traffic director on a highway. The current router that your cable companies provide does not have what it takes to manage all of your new Internet of Things, and what you have hardwired to it. So you are paying rental fees on an outdated system. Over the years we have tried different wifi routers like the Cisco, Linksys, D-link and other brands that our clients have purchased.

As of now, what we have been installing which is available on Amazon is the Netgear nighthawk X6 AC3200. Given the current bandwidth that can be delivered to your home which is 150 on the download side and 15 ont the upload, this is the best wifi router that can handle all of your devices at one time.

So if you have a need for speed to download your Netflix, Hulu, or have your Pandora, or Spotify music to stream without interruptions, then this is hands down what you have been looking for.

With its built in system to prioritize who and what is being downloaded, it takes all the guess work out of having to manually manage it. But the most critical part is where it should reside in the household and how it is set-up.
