Why Your Integrated Home Needs a Strong Network
A Strong Network is the Foundation for Smart Home Automation
Share This
Your home network is made of many devices, including the phone, tablet, computer, smart home technology, and gaming systems.
They can often communicate with each other when in close proximity to each other on the home network.
There are two main ways to connect devices in a home network: wired and wireless.
Wired connections are faster, more reliable, and provide better coverage for larger homes. On the other hand, wireless connections are less expensive but require more upkeep.
The emergence of new technologies has made a home network just as important and useful as traditional household utilities like gas and television.
When you're streaming TV shows, downloading movies, or planning a party, you need a strong and reliable network. Here’s why your network is integral to great home automation.

Reasons Your Home Network is Remarkably Important

- It enables the streaming of movies, music, and other forms of entertainment across your devices
- Streaming gadgets, gaming systems, and smart TVs have made it possible to consume a wide variety of content
- It allows you to share printers and scanners. When several computers are joined to a home network, they can print to a single printer
- It streamlines the management of smart home devices such as thermostats, cameras, and security systems
- It helps you to optimize your smart home devices by connecting them to an automated home in a simple way
The heart of all connected devices inside a home is the home network. It feeds the required info to linked devices to keep them running smoothly.
The number of gadgets that require a connection to the home network has increased dramatically in recent years.
The addition of new devices and technologies to a network can impose quite a burden on the network equipment.
For example, your entertainment experience is dependent on the quality of your home network. When trying to watch a beloved show or movie, no one wants to see a spinning wheel or a shuttering display, which is why a strong and healthy home network is crucial.

2. Reliability
When you're viewing a movie in your dedicated home theater or streaming television shows on Netflix, you'll be able to enjoy the full show without any lag or delays in audio or video.
However, 4K streaming demands a lot of bandwidth, and your network may not be capable of handling it.
A lack of robust Wi-Fi is frequently the cause of video latency while streaming. Evolved Habitat can place wireless access points around your home in strategic spots to ensure that each smart device has a strong and dependable Internet connection.
3. Scalability
Not only does your home network need to be ready for today's technology, but it also needs to be ready for tomorrow's.
You don't want to fall behind on the most up-to-date smart home automation technologies just because your home network can't handle more devices.
Using the most recent standards and advancements in home networking technology will ensure that your network will not hold you back when it comes time to upgrade your smart home automation system.

4. Security
What is the level of security on your home network?
Many people are unaware of how vulnerable their data and gadgets are until a hacker gains access to their system.
Firewalls should protect anything accessible through your home network, from financial data to your laptop's webcam, to prevent outside hackers from gaining access.
To keep malware and other destructive computer infections out, the firewall should also have a strong antivirus program.
Conclusion
You'll need a solid home network if you want your smart home automation system to be secure, reliable, and effective now and in the future.
