Back to work in 2023, but still working from home?

A new year means that we are all going back to work and school, but some of us are still working from home. How can you make sure this new year that you have the smoothest experience with working from home, in terms of your wifi and data access?

Do you have a strong enough Wifi connection?

When working from home, a strong internet connection is a necessity, which should ideally have a speed between 10 to 50 Mbps to efficiently support video conferencing calls and downloading and uploading files. 

If low internet speed or connectivity issues are affecting your ability to get work done at home, Jim’s Antennas is here to help you out.

Do you need to remove dead spots within your home?

Ever noticed that some areas in your home have poor or no wifi or data signal? 

One of the best ways to solve this issue is by installing a Wifi Access Point, a device that is hardwired back to your modem that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN). The device works to project wifi signals throughout the area that it is installed in to eradicate those dead spots in your home. 

This is an effective method to remove dead spots because access points receive fast and reliable connections from the router, and allow the user to get full use of the wireless signal. With other devices such as wireless range extenders half of the connection is lost to the router, resulting in a weaker signal. 

Access points are also more convenient as they can be given the same network name. This means you won’t have to go to the trouble of constantly switching networks when moving around the home. 

Not to mention Wired Access Points can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet). This reduces the amount of cabling required and means that you don’t have to connect your device to a power point – only an ethernet point.
