Having trouble with WiFi signals and dead zones in your home? You’re not alone.
Many Oshawa households face WiFi issues and it’s affecting their online experience. This post will introduce you to the Whole Home WiFi System design and how to fix your internet.
Why WiFi
In this digital world, the internet has become an essential part of our lives. Whether you’re working from home, streaming your favorite shows, or connecting multiple devices, a strong WiFi signal is required.
Unfortunately, traditional WiFi networks fail to deliver especially in larger homes or multi-level homes. Many people struggle with this, but why?
The reason why so many homes struggle with poor wifi connection is because we think that our internet provider is responsible for the quality of our service. But the reality is that they are only responsible for getting the internet signals to the modem in your home. What happens after that (your internal network) is 100% your responsibility.
Another factor affecting our wifi speed is that we are connecting more devices in the home than ever before. I was on a smart home project recently and we were connecting the smart litter box to the home network!! If someone declared 20yrs ago that litter boxes would need a wifi connection we would think they were crazy.
This is where a Whole Home WiFi System comes in. Every device in your home can be online at the same time without affecting other devices. With years of experience and expertise in WiFi solutions, we guarantee performance and reliability.
What is a Whole Home WiFi System?
A Whole Home WiFi System, also known as a mesh network, is made up of multiple access points throughout your home.
These access points work together to create a single network that covers every inch of your property. This is similar to a smaller version of the public wifi that you connect to in an airport or a community center. These networks provide wifi to hundreds and even thousands of people at once.
You want to create a mini version of that same robust network in your home so that you, your family, and even guests can all be online at the same time without interruptions.
Unlike traditional WiFi routers that struggle to reach distant rooms, mesh networks keep you connected no matter where you are in your home.
Whole Home WiFi System Benefits
Coverage
With a Whole Home WiFi System, you can say goodbye to dead zones. The multiple access points ensure every area of your home gets a strong and steady signal. I typically recommend 3 wired mesh access points in a 1500sqft – 3500sqft home.
If your home is larger or made of denser materials, difficult for wifi signals to penetrate you may need to add more access points.
Faster Speeds
Mesh networks are designed to support multiple devices at once, so you get higher speeds and less lag. That means smoother streaming, quicker downloads, and more responsive online gaming.
Easy Management
Many Whole Home WiFi Systems come with user-friendly apps that let you manage your network with ease. You can see connected devices, set parental controls, and even run speed tests from your smartphone.

Do WiFi Extenders with Ethernet Ports Work?
Yes, WiFi extenders with Ethernet ports can extend your network range and improve signal strength. The extenders that are wireless and just plug into an electrical outlet do not work very well at all.
Can I Get a Wired WiFi Extender?
Yes, wired WiFi extenders use Ethernet cables to give you a stronger and more reliable connection than wireless extenders. These are the best extenders that you can buy.
Do not waste your money on a wireless extender because you are already struggling with a weak wifi signal. Think about it, how can another wireless device fix a wireless problem?
How to Extend WiFi Range with Another Router with Ethernet Cable?
Connect the second router to your main router with an Ethernet cable, then configure it as an access point to extend your WiFi range. We run smart home wiring discreetly because we know this stuff is unsightly. Our motto is “Technology should be experienced but not seen.”
What’s the difference between a Signal Booster and a Network Extender?
A signal booster amplifies the existing WiFi signal, a network extender creates a new network to expand coverage. A booster will improve the network inside of a structure but an extender can send the signal to another building on your property and allow you to extend your network into that building.
Can I add Mesh WiFi to my existing router?
Yes, you can add a mesh WiFi system to your existing router. The mesh system will work alongside your router to improve coverage. Some routers are unable to work with the equipment we have but we are very flexible on the solutions that we provide.
How do I add a Mesh WiFi System?
To add a mesh WiFi system buy a mesh kit, follow the manufacturer’s setup instructions, and place the access points around your home. However, this is not the best option. You can book a free consultation with us to have a better alternative.
How do I choose a Mesh WiFi System?
Consider coverage area, number of access points, speed requirements, and budget when choosing a mesh WiFi system. There are many different options on the market. Our preferred mesh systems are Eero and Ubiquiti.
Is Mesh WiFi better?
Mesh WiFi systems provide better coverage, faster speeds, and more reliable connections than traditional routers so they are a great choice for many homes and businesses.
Summary
A Whole Home WiFi System is a total game changer for Oshawa residents with poor internet.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to upgrade your smart home or a business looking to improve operations a mesh network will give you the reliable high-speed internet you need.
