Network Solutions: Wireless Router
Network solutions: from wireless routers to gateways and wired and wireless networking, ensuring performance at all times begins with choosing the right home networking solution. Stability and performance are fundamental requirements for every connected home regardless of size or scope. That said, forget about the wireless router provided by your cable company or Internet service provider! Because, they are only subpar at best. Granted, not everybody needs the same kind of performance. But, when you consider the amount of connected devices we use in our homes today, your wireless router needs to be capable of providing a fast reliable internet connection no matter where you are in your home.
Wondering If You Are Getting The Internet Speed You Are Paying For…
How to Test Your Internet Speed
Wondering if you are getting the Internet speed you are paying for? For anyone who is using the wireless router provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)… it is highly likely you are not getting the speed you are paying for. In fact, the only time you may get the speed you are paying for is when you are right next to your wireless router.
As an example take Spectrum, they advertise the fastest Internet speeds available starting at 60Mbps up to 100Mbps. Regardless of the company providing your Internet service, it is important to know if you are getting what you pay for. So, here is how to perform a speed test:

Speed Test
While most of you will not get the results we have listed above, what you will get are different speeds depending on the location of your wireless router. To see if you are getting what you pay for simply perform the test from your smartphone in every room of your home. You will find that even when you are close to the wireless router that has been provided to you, the result will not be the speed you expected.
Finding The Right Wireless Router
With the multitude of connected home products, smart TVs, smartphones, and other mobile devices that rule our lives today, it is more important than ever to have a wireless router in your home that can handle the increased demand for WiFi connectivity. Considerations that must be made are the size of your home, the number of users, as well as the types of devices that will connect to your wireless router. For example, if you have several family members vying for bandwidth for things like streaming shows or movies, the right wireless router can make all the difference.
For those looking to ensure their wireless router can handle current and future wireless networking needs, hiring a certified WiFi specialist like Shultz Audio Video is a wise investment. What is great about our company is that we will come out to do a WiFi assessment at no charge to you. With that assessment, we will make recommendations based on the size of your home and needs of your family to deliver a home networking solution to fit your needs and your budget.
