Top 10 Home Network Questions
I pay for fast internet, why is my WiFi still slow?
Just because speed enters your house, doesn't mean it reaches your device! It's usually an issue with your existing router's range, not the internet connection itself. Our Troubleshooting Package can optimize your current setup to get the speeds you pay for.
Why does my WiFi drop out in certain rooms?
Standard routers often struggle to push signals through thick walls or over long distances. However, we can fix this easily! We can install modern wireless extenders to "push" the signal further without needing to drill holes or run messy cables.
How often should I replace my router?
Technology moves fast. If your router is more than 4-5 years old, it likely cannot handle modern speeds. Upgrading to a modern WiFi 6 router is often the quickest, simplest way to fix network issues instantly.
Do I need to run cables everywhere?
Not anymore! Modern Wireless (WiFi 6/7) is incredibly fast and reliable. At SazNetworks, we prefer a "Wireless First" approach—it's cleaner, quicker to install, and covers 99% of home needs (including 4K streaming) without ruining your decor with cables.
What is a "Mesh" system?
Think of Mesh as a seamless blanket of WiFi. Instead of one router struggling in a corner, multiple small units talk to each other wirelessly to cover the whole house. It's the best way to get full coverage without running physical wires.
How do I stop neighbors from using my internet?
If your password is weak, they might be slowing you down! We ensure your network uses the latest encryption standards and strong passwords, keeping your data (and bandwidth) strictly for your family.
I have too many smart devices, is that a problem?
Standard routers provided by ISPs often struggle when 20+ devices connect at once. We install robust wireless hardware designed to handle smart homes effortlessly, keeping your lights, doorbells, and phones connected simultaneously.
Can I game or stream 4K over WiFi?
Absolutely. A properly configured modern wireless network is more than capable of handling lag-free gaming and high-definition movies. We can tune your network to ensure your entertainment gets the priority it needs, no cables required.
I'm building an extension/office. What should I do?
We recommend planning for a strong wireless signal first. We can assess if a wireless link will work (saving you money and mess). We only recommend installing physical cables if strictly necessary for your specific needs.
Can I control when my kids use the internet?
Yes. Modern systems allow for "Parental Controls" where you can pause WiFi for specific devices (like a games console) at dinner time or bedtime directly from your phone.
