Frequently Asked Questions

• 1. Why does my large home have poor Wi-Fi coverage despite having high-speed internet?
  High-speed internet does not automatically guarantee strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout a home. Large floor plans, multiple levels, concrete construction, dense walls, and numerous connected devices can interfere with wireless performance. Get Wired Tec designs professionally managed networks using strategically positioned wireless access points, network switches, and structured cabling to provide dependable coverage throughout the property.
• 2. What is the difference between mesh Wi-Fi and a professionally installed network?
  Consumer mesh Wi-Fi systems are designed to extend wireless coverage with relatively simple installation. Professionally installed networks typically use wired access points, managed switches, and more advanced configuration capabilities to improve reliability and performance. For larger homes and properties with extensive connected technologies, a professionally designed network often provides better control over coverage, device management, and network stability. Get Wired Tec assesses each home carefully to determine which Wi-Fi solution best suits the clients needs.
• 3. How many wireless access points does a large home need?
  The number of wireless access points depends on the property's square footage, construction materials, layout, connected devices, and coverage expectations. A large residence may require multiple strategically placed access points across different floors, outdoor areas, and detached structures. Get Wired Tec evaluates the home's layout and network requirements to determine appropriate access point placement rather than relying solely on square footage.
• 4. Can Wi-Fi coverage extend to outdoor entertainment areas and guest houses?
  Yes. Professionally designed networks can extend reliable connectivity to patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, guest houses, and other detached structures. Depending on the distance and property infrastructure, solutions may include outdoor-rated wireless access points, underground cabling, fiber connections, or wireless bridges. Get Wired Tec designs network solutions that support connectivity throughout the property's intended coverage areas.
• 5. What is the difference between residential and enterprise-grade networking equipment?
  Enterprise-grade networking equipment generally provides more advanced management, security, monitoring, and configuration capabilities than basic consumer networking products. These features can be particularly valuable in larger homes with numerous connected devices, home automation systems, surveillance equipment, and multiple users. Get Wired Tec specializes in professionally managed networking solutions designed to support demanding residential technology environments.
• 6. Can an existing home network be upgraded without replacing all the wiring?
  In many cases, yes. Existing structured cabling may be suitable for modern network equipment if it is properly installed, tested, and capable of supporting the required speeds. Upgrading routers, switches, and wireless access points can significantly improve network performance without necessarily replacing every cable. Get Wired Tec evaluates existing infrastructure and recommends improvements based on system requirements and long-term serviceability.
