OUR SOLUTION
FIBRE HOOK UP
Their internet provider advised that they were not able to connect their property due to the type of specialist cladding they had on their home.
We installed the fibre modem and exterior wiring ready for the broadband provide to connect the property
INSTALL A NEW REMOTE MANAGED Wi-Fi 6 SYSTEM ACROSS THE PROPERTY
Their existing system (Aruba) was a hardwired system connected to multiple Wi-Fi 4 access points which were lose on the floor and connected to ethernet wall ports in various location in the property. This system was both outdated and not fit for purpose for their requirements.
We provided, installed & configured a new OMADA networking solution which:
- Upgraded their system to Wi-Fi 6 across the property
- Added greater range to each access point
- Allowed for full coverage of their properties 3 floors
- Utilised their existing hardwired networking ports across the home
THE RESULT
-
Incoming broadband speeds increased from 18Mbps to 900Mbps
-
Full Wi-Fi coverage over the 3 floors of the large home managed by a single system
-
New discrete Wi-Fi access points installed over existing ethernet wall sockets
-
Secure & separate networks for homeowners and guests.
-
Remotely managed & supported system with no upkeep for the owners
-
Scope to expand the system in the future to Wi-Fi 7
BEFORE & AFTER
BEFORE
With the incoming broadband located at the far left of the property on the 1F , the homeowner was limited as to where they could place the main Wi-Fi Router.
Additionally the property had 3 floors, one of which was a basement.
As such there was zero coverage in the basement and patchy poor coverage on the 1F & 2F.
AFTER
The new installation negated the need for a single Wi-Fi router in the 1F Office and instead utilised the existing hardwired runs from this location to the rest of the house.
We converted the existing Cat5e wall sockets into Wireless access points which seamlessly integrated into the wall.
Wi-Fi 6 access points were installed in strategic locations throughout the property to ensure full coverage. Finally the system was configured to run in Mesh mode, meaning that the homeowners could walk anywhere in the property with full coverage and their devices would switch to the nearest access point automatically.
