Do You Have the Right Home Network for Your Needs?
Stream, Search, & Work Better with a Network Upgrade
When streaming services replaced video rental stores, we were promised greater convenience. In mere minutes, you can find a movie and play it on your TV without leaving the house.
The convenience is undeniable, but as for quality? We’ve all sat down to watch a film only to see buffering screens and pixelated images.
Similarly, communication and teleconferencing solutions offer a convenient way to work from home. But what do you do if your video calls freeze or files won’t upload?
If you’re experiencing unreliable or slow Wi-Fi in your Dallas, TX home, don’t despair. A new home networking installation can provide strong connections across your entire house – and outdoors too. Learn how we can improve your Wi-Fi below, and contact Texadia Systems to get started!

What’s Your Current Wi-Fi Setup?
Do you run your whole house on a single router? And is that router more than a few years old? As we add more smart devices and stream higher-quality content in our homes, we need more support.
If you’re still using a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) router, it’s time to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 for better performance. And if you live with many smart home devices, a single router may not be enough equipment to keep every room connected.
What Will You Use the Network For?
We’re far beyond the days of only using Wi-Fi for a few computers. Today, American households use an average of 10 smart devices or more, including anything from smartwatches to thermostats.
The following activities require a strong network:
- Streaming movies, TV, and music
- Remote work and virtual meetings
- Online gaming
- Smart home systems
- Home security and surveillance
If you’re running many IoT devices and rely on speed, it’s likely time for an upgrade.
A Better Way
In those hard-to-reach dead zones, sometimes the best solution is to wire your computer or other devices to the network. A hybrid wireless and wired network will guarantee the connectivity you need.
To extend Wi-Fi coverage across your house, we'll install wireless access points that further distribute the network. We should note that access points are not the same as repeaters, which rebroadcast a weaker signal.
Next, we recommend swapping your networking hardware to newer Wi-Fi 6 equipment. Wi-Fi 6 can communicate with more electronics simultaneously. For comparison, Wi-Fi 5 routers send and receive data to four devices at once, while Wi-Fi 6 can deliver data to eight!
Life’s too short to put up with frustrating Wi-Fi. Give yourself the gift of a new home network with help from Texadia Systems. Contact our team of experts to discuss your network installation today!
