Wifi Distribution and Networks
Are you dreaming of spending your summer 2024 working from the comfort of your cottage while enjoying the warm sunshine and calm, cool lake? To make this dream a reality, you'll need a powerful internet connection to keep up with your WFH demands!
While smart devices are designed to connect wirelessly, the key to uninterrupted internet at the dock is a great network at the cottage supported by wireless access points (WAPs). "A great network lets you connect multiple devices at the cottage without losing speed, quality, or reliability," says Dave Fast of Muskoka Smart Homes.
Where Comfort Meets Cutting-Edge
With families' ever-increasing reliance on their mobile devices and the popularity of services like Netflix, Spotify, and Sonos, wireless network reliability and coverage are more important than ever. Whether you are at the dock, the fire pit or the boathouse, our clients want dependable wireless coverage.
"Pre-wiring for home automation is a great way to future-proof your build," says Dave Fast, co-owner of Muskoka Smart Homes, along with his wife, Lisa. It will save you money in the long run and provide better options when integrating upcoming technology into your new home. "It can be up to five times more expensive to wire your home for automation after the build is finished," says Dave.
There are several reasons to consider upgrading your wifi network at your cottage. One of the main reasons is that older systems can't handle some of the new advancements, such as the so-called "Internet of Things" – networks of physical devices, vehicles and home appliances that talk to each other. It's important to realize that limited internet capacity and the smaller reach of older wifi systems can restrict your cottage's home automation capabilities. You need great coverage and a reliable system to fully utilize new household innovations like Amazon's voice-activated Alexa system, Spotify's music streaming service and Sonos' seamlessly interconnected sound system.
Our team works with homeowners to find optimal wifi access points based on home specifications to enable reliable, consistent coverage, including patios, decks, boathouses and most outdoor areas. Utilizing the latest network equipment and devices, we can simultaneously accommodate various traffic demands – from 4K video streaming to intense online gaming.
