HOW WE CREATE DEPENDABLE DATA / WI-FI NETWORKS

FOR OUR CLIENTS

STEP 1 - STOP USING THE ISP (INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS) NETWORK EQUIPMENT

It's common for internet providers to promote the use of their own equipment to supply internet to the home. The lowest bidder usually designs and builds these modem/router combo units. Cost efficiency can be more important than quality when these devices are designed and supplied to the masses. These combo units may be suitable for apartments or smaller homes, but they cannot provide quality service to mid to large-sized homes.

Step 2 - Quality High Speed Modem

For cable we use Arris S33 Modems

For Fiber we request an ONT modem from the provider

Step 3 - High-Quality Router

A router should only act as a router and do that well. Normal responsibilities include managing device IP assignment and protecting the internal network from the outside world network. A router can provide additional technical features when needed.

Step 4 - Network Switches

Network switches are the most important part of the network design.

Think of network switches as city streets and traffic signals for data. If you have a congested city street and poor traffic signal procedure, traffic will back up. If your city streets are well designed with multiple lanes and proper traffic signal programming, traffic will flow effectively and with great speed. Proper switch design and programming does the same for your data.

Step 5 - Access Points

Access points are devices that provide Wi-Fi broadcasts and connections. These are placed strategically based on home layout and possible obstructions to signal. These must be programmed properly with consideration to neighboring interference from other devices producing similar frequencies. When designed and programmed correctly, you can have strong and fast internet all over

your property.

Step 6 - Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

A PDU provides a self-healing internet solution.

The internet connection to the PDU surge protector performs a routine ping to 3-4 websites such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. If all 3 websites fail to respond, an automatic reboot occurs to the network equipment.

During any power reboot, the PDU ensures the network devices are rebooted in the correct order, with appropriate time delays between each component. This is crucial for a properly sequenced network restart in the correct order of boot up.
