As our lives become increasingly digital, robust cybersecurity is crucial when operating your home’s integrated devices.

Faster Speeds

It goes without saying: The more devices connected to your home, the more strain your network feels. As you grow your smart home, your network must be able to facilitate communication between all of your technologies for fast, reliable responses. 

Some of your home’s connected devices, such as a smart doorbell, may only require small amounts of data and a simple wi-fi connection to work the way they’re meant to. But smart devices like your desktop computer and audio/video system require heavy amounts of data and work more reliably when hardwired.
