WiFi Reliability
Understanding why WiFi problems happen and how to build a stable, reliable network foundation.
Improving WiFi Reliability A Gentle Recommendation
If you are experiencing recurring WiFi issues, it is often not due to your internet connection, but rather the limitations of consumer WiFi platforms.
Why Consumer Mesh WiFi Struggles
Many popular mesh systems are designed for:
- Ease of setup
- Low cost
- Light residential usage
In realworld homes, issues often arise due to:
- Limited roaming control
- Poor handling of busy networks
- Firmware instability
- Limited diagnostic visibility
These limitations become more noticeable as:
- Property size increases
- Device count grows
- Usage becomes more demanding (streaming, workfromhome, smart homes)
Our Approach to Reliable WiFi
Where longterm stability is required, we design networks that focus on:
- Proper access point placement
- Wired backhaul where possible
- Predictable roaming behaviour
- Commercialgrade hardware
This approach reduces:
- Dropouts
- Random disconnections
- Reboots as a fix
- Ongoing support costs
No Pressure, Just Transparency
We are always happy to:
- Support existing systems
- Improve performance where possible
- Advise honestly on limitations
However, where recurring issues persist, upgrading the WiFi platform is often the most costeffective longterm solution.
