Can Your Home Network Handle Everything You Need It To?
Learn Why You Need a Networking Upgrade to Stay Connected
Think, for a moment, about how many connected devices you have in your home. Market research shows the average American has approximately 16 internet/Wi-Fi dependent devices. According to CE Pro, the leading custom electronics publication, that number increases to nearly 50 when a home control system is introduced.
These numbers show the dramatic difference between the networking needs of the average homeowner and an owner of an automated home. An upgraded home network is required to keep all of the devices in your Austin, TX home running reliably, securely, and without fail. Using the same router as the average Austinite won't cut it when you have a long list of home solutions vying for bandwidth and clogging network traffic.
Open up your home’s data highway with enterprise-grade components that are built to keep you connected, regardless of your device count. Learn more by reading our blog below.

Consistent Performance
Your home network requires a well-designed and installed networking infrastructure consisting of both wired and wireless connections. Your wired connections matter for lag-free gaming, conference calls that never drop, and streaming movie platforms. These stationary locations of your home rarely move, so having a consistent, wired connection ensures maximum performance.
Wireless connections play a key role when you want to work on your laptop while lounging on the patio, watching YouTube on your tablet, or listening to music from anywhere in your home. Components of your home such as shading, lighting, on-wall keypads, and your security system all work effectively using a combination of wired and wireless connections. The Captivate team will set up all of your devices on the appropriate communication channels to ensure they’re protected from cyberhacking, interference, and degraded performance.
What Is Wi-Fi 6?
The latest Wi-Fi 6 technology allows routers to communicate with more devices than previous wireless network protocols. Your router can simultaneously “speak” to multiple devices without sacrificing performance. That means it’s the perfect evolution for connected homes with numerous technologies, including distributed AV, motorized shades, automation, home office videoconferencing, and total home control systems. Triaging bandwidth to devices is a simpler task for Wi-Fi 6-enabled components.
