Wireless Access Points Design and Installation in London
You might be familiar with the experience of strolling around your London home only to realise that your smartphone’s Wi-Fi signal is inexplicably faltering. What’s happening? You might have walked into a “dead zone”, where your router just isn’t providing enough Wi-Fi coverage – perhaps because the router is too far away for its signal to reach this particular part of your home.
A router can also struggle to cast a strong enough Wi-Fi signal in a specific area if the signal has to travel through a large solid wall or other obstruction to get there. In situations like these, you should seriously consider having what is called a wireless access point (WAP) set up in the problem area. Our team can install multiple WAPs in London homes.
In doing so, we can leave you with an exhaustive and even level of Wi-Fi coverage right throughout your London residence. You could have one access point in your living room to serve your smart TV and another WAP in your home office to facilitate your freelance lifestyle, while multiple WAPs dotted throughout the property could work well with a multi-room audiovisual system.
Our WiFiAccess Points Solutions Are:
Reliable
If your home’s Wi-Fi coverage falters in a particular area, just put an access point there.
Simple
Each access point you add to your home can be up and running in minutes.
Versatile
Wireless access points can be used with a vast range of online-ready devices.
How Wi-Fi Access Points Improve Your Wi-Fi Coverage?
A Wi-Fi access point works by sourcing an internet connection and bandwidth from a broadband router or switch, to which the access point will be connected via an Ethernet or data cable. The WAP will then transmit and receive a wireless signal in one of two Wi-Fi frequency ranges: 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. This signal can be used to connect wirelessly to a Local Area Network (LAN).
Therefore, a Wi-Fi access point can be the ideal solution if you have a Wi-Fi-compatible router that, by itself, can’t quite transmit a strong enough Wi-Fi signal to every part of your London home that needs it. Even if your home’s broadband is fast on paper, a weak Wi-Fi signal could still hamper the internet speed in practice.
As a result, you could be left paying for a faster connection than what you get. You could also find that weak Wi-Fi connectivity adversely affects smart home tech in your London abode. For example, if you regularly stream video in a home cinema, you could find that the footage starts buffering unless a router or WAP is sufficiently close by.
Why We Use Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi Solutions?
For various reasons, we routinely install Wi-Fi access points from the Ubiquiti UniFi range. In this way, we can add anything from just one WAP to several as part of an extensive smart Wi-Fi setup. The UniFi range also includes many different models of WAP – meaning that, for each client, we can carefully select the specific units that will best meet their needs.
So, we might opt for a basic model if you only want a little extra Wi-Fi coverage in one or two rooms – perhaps the home office and a games room. In such instances, you might want a WAP that can be affixed easily to a wall or ceiling without looking unsightly – and, reassuringly, Ubiquiti does offer WAP units of this description.
However, if your home has many different devices which all need resilient connectivity, rest assured that there are Ubiquiti UniFi solutions to suit. We could install WAPs that can accommodate many different device connections and are POE-compatible, meaning that both data and power for this WAP can be provided through a single Cat5 or Cat6 cable connected to it.
