UPGRADE TO WI-FI 6 FOR FASTER SPEEDS & BETTER CONNECTIONS
IMPROVE THE RELIABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND SECURITY OF YOUR HOME NETWORK INSTALLATION
The modern home relies extensively on the data network, and smart home devices use this connection to communicate with each other and the internet. While wireless transmissions are the most convenient method of connecting, they are often the most unreliable. That is until now.
802.11ax, more commonly called Wi-Fi 6, is a stunning step forward for home network installation. The devices and standards are built with 4K and 8K streaming devices in mind and work perfectly for video conferencing, home entertainment, home security, robust smart home systems, and more!
Are you excited to see how Wi-Fi 6 can make your Nashville, TN, home network faster, safer, and more reliable? Continue reading below to learn more.

BREAK THROUGH THE NOISE
The average smart home has a lot going on, with about 20-25 wireless devices (and in some homes, much more!) connected at any given time. This density of RF signals can degrade bandwidth speeds, especially when streaming high-definition videos and games. Wi-Fi 6 has specially designed features that prioritize high-bandwidth content and accommodate up to 4x more connections.
The first Wi-Fi 6 access points for the home now work in the newly approved 1-5 GHz bands, providing less populated and additional frequencies and channels. Standard 2.4GHz contains fewer non-overlapping channels and is often congested, causing the dreaded buffering messages. However, Wi-Fi 6 is capable of running on 5GHz and 2.4GHz, giving it stronger performance at further distances as well.
KEEP THEM SEPARATED
Because wireless devices share the single medium of RF, the units on the node will only transmit when given the all-clear. Wi-Fi 6 unveils powerful tools that automatically differentiate your network devices from your neighbor’s network or even a different segment of your home.
By ‘coloring’ the devices on the network, it ignores all nonmembers or other colors, thereby freeing up time and bandwidth. The result is the ability to connect up to 30 simultaneous devices per channel. This improved communication reduces latency and prepares the way for 8K streams and the addition of many more devices.
CONNECT LONGER, SAVE POWER
Wireless IoT devices such as cameras, sensors, and your smartphone are battery-powered more often than not, and the constant communication required to operate can drain their charge quickly.
Wi-Fi 6’s Target Wait Time (TWT) feature coordinates the entire ecosystem by telling units exactly when to sleep and when to turn on their Wi-Fi radio. Your smartphone gets more life out of its last charge by conserving energy, and your doorbell camera runs longer.
PRIVACY PROTECTED
Security is always a top concern when using wireless devices. Our mobile phones, tablets, and streaming products transmit incredibly personal information into the air where nefarious individuals could be waiting.
With the introduction of WPA3 as the standard security for Wi-Fi 6, your home network just got much more secure. The protocol provides a boosted cryptographic scheme that furnishes you with enterprise-class protection.
