Home Networking
On average, today’s home has a multitude of connected devices, each hijacking bandwidth from your home network. Add to that the increasing reliance on streaming services and it becomes abundantly clear that a robust, high-performing home network is critical. With all of the smart home devices designed to connect to the Internet like smart TVs and products like smart locks, lights, and more, you need enough bandwidth, speed, and range to handle all of this tech.
What many do not realize, is the network is one of the most important systems in a home. Yet, many people still use the standard wireless router they got with their Internet services. The problem with this? This type of router is built as a one-size-fits-all approach. As a result, it compromises the speed, performance, and reliability of your home network. With the in mind, we offer some insight home networking. Learn how it works, and how to get the most reliable and robust system for your home.
Why Your Home Network Matters
Without a reliable and efficient home network, even the smartest devices are rendered dumb. Each connected device adds strain to your home network. And in turn, it also impacts the throughput and, ultimately, the availability of a wireless connection throughout your home. For this reason, the network has quickly become one of the most important systems in a home.
Understanding How A Home Network, Works
Throughput
Throughput determines how quickly data can pass through the network. The greater the throughput, the faster the network can process the data that is being used by the connected devices. A greater throughput translates to a more instantaneous response time.
Capacity
Capacity is the number of devices that can effectively connect to the network without impacting performance. High capacity means a network is able to provide optimal throughput to all connected devices. Low-capacity wireless networks get bogged down and sluggish, especially when using systems that require many connected devices.
Coverage
Coverage is the area or range covered by the wireless signal. Good coverage leaves no corner, garage, or pool house without wireless. Good coverage means having a strong and consistent signal with undiminished throughput as you move around your property.
Security
Your wireless network should have robust features and latest encryptions that will protect your personal data and also help you maintain total control over your network.
Reliability
A reliable wireless network that is always performing at its peak can be trusted to link you to the devices and applications that bring your family comfort, connection, and security.

How To Get The Most Reliable & Robust Connection
Router
Your router connects to the Internet and acts as the brain of your home network. To get the most out of your network, you need a router that can handle high-bandwidth, low-latency multimedia traffic.
Switches
Switches allow flexibility for wired connections and, in some cases, even power your devices. High-quality switches are designed to process audio and video network traffic more efficiently and at higher speeds to eliminate lag, jitter, and buffering when streaming audio and video.
Wireless
Wireless access points provide coverage throughout a home. This is especially important for those with larger homes.
Power
Because power control is the first-line of defense in bringing critical devices back online, you need surge protection that offers, individual outlet management, remote power cycling, and self-healing features.

Routers
With an Araknis router, high-traffic networks are handled with ease. Dual-WAN allows you to connect your network to two different ISPs (for example: TWC and Comcast) and have the WAN links configured either as load-balancing (i.e. active/active) or link failover (i.e. active/standby). Routers include 4-gigabit LANs that can be configured to load-balancing or failover modes through WANs, extensive VPN support, plus an embedded firewall for network security. The 4 Gigabit LAN router’s most useful feature is an embedded 4 Gigabit switch on the LAN side. You can use it to connect the router to multiple switches in the network, or connect other devices to the router directly. Plus, the LAN side of the router supports full LAN-LAN Gigabit speed with Jumbo Frame support for better video streaming.

Switches
