Is It Time To Upgrade Your Wireless Router?

If you are like many San Diego homeowners, you have become accustomed to using the wireless router provided to you by your ISP. And, why not, we expect the equipment to work like it is supposed to. But the reality is, if you are using it, you are most likely not getting the WiFi speed you pay for. The crazy thing is, not long ago most people could get by with a basic single-band router. But today, you would be hard pressed to find a home that can get away with a wireless router this basic. In fact, it is the main reason people lose their wireless signal.

From buffering when streaming Netflix to slow loading web pages, there is a good chance your wireless router is having trouble keeping up with your networking demands, in which case it is time for an upgrade. From the living room to the backyard, your home WiFi system should work no matter what. But the only way to maximize the WiFi speeds you are paying for, is by using a wireless router that is built to deliver fastest Internet speeds. For those who want to enjoy fast and consistent WiFi speeds throughout their home, upgrading your wireless router is the best way to do that.

Wondering If You Are Getting The Internet Speed You Are Paying For…

Home Network, Media

You might not think about the quality of your home network, but think about where your content is coming from. When you add dedicated streaming devices, smart TVs, and networked gaming consoles it is clear that the Internet is the most important source for home entertainment. And, as you connect more devices the reality is, your home network is getting pushed to its limits, in versatility and reach. Indeed, a bad WiFi signal at home is enough for anyone to become annoyed with their Internet service provider. However, you would be surprised just how much WiFi quality relies on the router itself. Don’t take wireless technology for granted. Just try to imagine your day without WiFi. Chances are you can’t.

Have you ever been at home with some friends, showing off your new TV and decide to stream a 4k movie, when suddenly everything stops and that dreaded buffering icon shows it ugly face? Sure, it is awkward, but it is something that has happened to all of us. With the multitude of connected home products, smart TVs, smartphones, and other 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. 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.

Upgrading Your Wireless Router…

Wireless Router, The Importance Of An Upgrade

You may be thinking, why spend money on something your ISP gives you for free? Or you may be the type who thinks it does not matter if your wireless router is older because your phone, laptop, or other wireless gear is not cutting edge. Unfortunately, this leads to a situation where the important but ignored wireless router ends up being a source of degraded Internet connection quality and a bad user experience for everyone at your home using your network. Many homeowners are accustomed to using networking hardware provided by their Internet service provider or consumer brands found at a local retailer. But, the problem with these consumer grade commodity products are the fact that they are built for a one-size-fits-all. This approach to wireless router design compromises the speed, performance, and reliability of your home network. Consumer grade networks, built as low-cost solutions, are not designed to meet the demands of modern connected homes.

Why Upgrade Your Wireless Router

From parental controls and eradicating dead zones to faster WiFi speeds and improved security, when the network goes down, the kids can’t play their games, the content stops streaming, and your home is virtually cut off from the world! As the gateway to the Internet, your wireless router plays a key role in overall network performance and reliability. If you are experiencing frequent symptoms of an underpowered or overwhelmed router, such as not getting a consistent WiFi signal everywhere in your home. Or,  you frequently have network-related congestion issues, like slow web page loading or buffering video playback, it is a good sign that your wireless router is not up to the task of serving everyone in your household. Moreover, if your wireless router was a freebie supplied by your ISP (whether as a router/modem combo or a stand alone unit) there is a good chance it is not adequate. You Internet service provider is not in the business of handing out extremely high quality routers, and generally speaking, most modem/router combination units are only subpar at best.

WiFi and Internet speed are two different things. Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) determines your maximum Internet speed (the speed you pay for), but your wireless router can have a significant impact on your WiFi speed…
