Is your home network prepared to handle a digital lifestyle? If you're still using a DIY network or one set up by your Internet provider, you may face ongoing connectivity issues. These basic solutions are unprepared for the growing number of network-connected devices in homes. Think of the many ways you use your internet each day: to watch movies, conduct video conferences, and even switch on the lights. It's not enough to upgrade to a better plan; you need the right infrastructure to carry the signal throughout your Los Angeles, CA, home. That's why we recommend investing in a professional home network installation.

Why a Well-Designed Network Is Essential

Getting the most out of your AV and smart home technology starts with a robust, scalable, and secure network—one with the bandwidth and speed (we'll explain how to accomplish that later) needed for the integration of audio, video, lighting, and more. Why is this so important? 

We outline three examples below:

• Streaming: Today, most of our entertainment lives on streaming services, whether it's a classic rock album on Spotify or the latest blockbuster on Netflix. The latter presents the biggest challenge for your network. Movies and TV shows come with 4K resolution, HDR, and Dolby Atmos audio that takes up massive bandwidth. Without an upgrade, you'll either have a video that lags behind the audio, or your streaming service will automatically lower your video quality to stream uninterrupted. 

• Remote Work: Most workplaces have implemented hybrid roles, which means there is a lot more working from home. Don't let a lackluster network interrupt important business when you're trying to send over a large document, conduct a presentation, or participate in a vital conference call. 

• Smart Home Control: Most smart devices—including lighting and shading control—work through your network. For your control panel to communicate with your switches, shades, and fixtures, it needs to use your network. Any slowdown or traffic backup will cause commands taking longer to complete.  

The Value of Professional Installation

Delivering seamless, high-speed connectivity across your home requires more than plugging in a standard router. It demands a sophisticated, well-thought-out approach to your network's design and installation. This is where Just One Touch™'s expertise and enterprise-grade equipment become invaluable. 

By leveraging enterprise-grade routers and access points—along with a strategic deployment that may include detailed heat maps for optimal coverage—your network is tailored to meet the specific demands of your home's layout and your family's usage patterns. We also incorporate traffic regulation rules to prioritize bandwidth for critical applications, ensuring your video conference isn't interrupted because someone else is streaming their favorite show in 4K.
