Networking & Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi That Actually Works

Whether you just need solid Wi-Fi throughout your home or you're building a fully managed smart home network, we design and install the right solution. From Eero mesh for everyday coverage to enterprise Araknis infrastructure for luxury builds — reliable internet, every room, every device.

Why Consumer Wi-Fi Fails Smart Homes

A $200 router from Best Buy handles 10 devices. Your smart home has 50-80. Here's what breaks — and what we build instead.

Consumer Router

Single point of failure. Shared band for all devices. No segmentation. No PoE. No remote management. When it freezes at 2 AM, everything goes offline until you manually reboot.

Eero Mesh — Great for Most Homes

We're an authorized Eero dealer. Eero mesh delivers excellent whole-home Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6E, easy app control, and built-in security. Perfect for 2,000-4,000 sq ft homes that need reliable coverage without enterprise complexity.

Araknis Enterprise — For Smart Homes

Managed switches with PoE. Commercial access points with seamless roaming. VLAN segmentation isolating IoT from personal devices. WattBox auto-recovery. OvrC cloud monitoring — we fix issues before you know they exist.

What's In Your Network Rack

The network rack is the heartbeat of your smart home. Every device in your house connects back here through managed, labeled, organized infrastructure. Nothing is ad-hoc. Everything is purposeful.

Araknis Managed Switch

PoE managed switching with port monitoring, bandwidth prioritization, and VLAN support. Powers cameras, access points, and smart devices directly over Ethernet — no separate power adapters.

WattBox IP Power

Intelligent power conditioning with auto-sequenced restart after outages. Network rack → switches → APs → Control4 — powered up in the correct order automatically. Remote reboot any device from the cloud.

Patch Panel & Cat6A

Every room terminates at a labeled patch panel. Cat6A supports 10-Gigabit speeds. Fiber backbone for homes over 5,000 sq ft with long runs between floors or wings.

Surge Protection

Clean, conditioned power protects your network investment from spikes and electrical noise. Equipment lasts longer and performs better behind proper power conditioning.

VLAN Segmentation: Security by Design

Smart homes have competing demands — cameras need bandwidth, guests need privacy, Control4 needs low latency, IoT devices need isolation. VLANs solve all of it.

Personal Network

Your laptops, phones, tablets. Full internet access. Isolated from IoT. Your work calls and streaming get priority bandwidth — no competition from 30 smart switches.

Control4 & AV

Dedicated to your automation processor, touchscreens, and professional AV equipment. Guaranteed bandwidth and zero latency. Your keypads respond instantly, every time.

IoT Devices

Cameras, locks, thermostats, sensors — isolated from personal devices. If an IoT device gets compromised, it can't see your laptop. Bandwidth-limited so 8 cameras don't throttle your Zoom call.

Guest Network

Fast internet for visitors. Zero access to your cameras, locks, automation, or personal devices. Complete separation. Complete privacy. One-tap guest password from Control4.

Araknis Wireless: Zero Dead Spots

Commercial-grade access points with seamless roaming, multiple SSIDs, and enterprise performance — designed for homes with 50+ wireless devices.

Seamless Roaming

Walk from room to room — your device stays connected without dropping or re-authenticating. Voice calls, video streams, and music playback continue uninterrupted across your entire home.

Multi-Band Intelligence

2.4GHz for range and legacy devices, 5GHz for speed and capacity, Wi-Fi 6 for future devices. APs steer each device to the optimal band automatically.

PoE Powered

Each access point runs on a single Cat6A cable — data and power combined. No electrical outlet needed at the AP location. Clean installation, flexible placement.

Proactive Monitoring

OvrC Cloud Management: We See It First

OvrC is a cloud-based remote management platform that gives our team real-time visibility into every device on your network. When a camera drops offline at 2 AM, we see it immediately. When an access point shows interference, we adjust remotely. When firmware updates are available, they deploy automatically.

Most issues get resolved before you wake up. For anything that requires an on-site visit, we arrive with full diagnostic context — no guessing, no wasted truck rolls.

Real-Time Dashboard

Device status, signal strength, IP assignments, bandwidth usage — all visible 24/7 from our monitoring console.

Proactive Alerts

Device offline? High interference? Bandwidth spike? We're notified instantly and respond before it impacts your experience.

Remote Troubleshooting

Slow speeds? Signal issues? We diagnose and fix remotely — firmware updates, configuration changes, device reboots — without a site visit.

Historical Analytics

Connection logs, traffic patterns, device health trends. When recurring issues arise, we see the pattern and solve the root cause.

Your Network Powers Everything

Networking is the invisible foundation. Every system depends on it — here's what runs on top.

Control4 Automation

Your automation processor, touchscreens, and keypads all communicate over the network. Reliable networking = instant response.

Security & Cameras

Luma AI cameras stream 4K over PoE. Your alarm system talks to Control4 over the network. Both need managed bandwidth.

Sonos Audio

Ethernet-connected Sonos Amps deliver zero-latency multi-room audio. Wi-Fi backup for portable speakers.

Energy Management

Savant smart breakers report real-time consumption over the network. Control4 automation commands flow through the same infrastructure.
