Buffering, lag, low quality video/audio, slow internet browsing, dropping out of conference calls or constant internet disconnects are all signs that your home network needs an overhaul.
The most common reaction is to blame the internet provider and attempt to upgrade the speed you are paying them for. Unfortunately for most people, the issue never goes away as the connection coming into the house is not the problem, it’s the equipment being used to share the internet across the home. Either the router/gateway isn’t able to handle and process the number of connected devices in the home or the signal strength/coverage is too week, causing poor performance speeds the further you are from the broadcast point.
Many people all renting their WiFi equipment from their provider and have no idea that it’s holding all their expensive devices back from performing at their best. Did you know that most rental equipment is meant to cover a 1500 square-foot home when placed dead center in the building and typically can only connect to around 25 devices issue free?
Let Blue Water Audio/Video complete a free WiFi assessment for your home or business and recommend the proper solution to ensure you network simply JUST WORKS!

Whether you‘re in the building stage or looking to retrofit a solution to an existing home, we can assess the space, factor in areas you want reliable coverage, consider building materials that may reduce signal strength, number of connected devices, and your performance needs to perfectly plan your home network.
Did you know, traditional range extenders can lose up to 50% of your capable speeds and create a separate network name/broadcast in your home, causing device connection confusion? For small to medium size homes with a modest number of connected devices, the modern solution is a WiFi mesh network that will incorporate multiple routers that can talk to your devices at the same time as communicating to each other, without the same speed loss issues. The mesh nodes will create one network name broadcast for your devices and the best part is they only need to be in range of each other and a power outlet for easy deployment.
When reliability, security, and performance are the most important consideration, nothing beats directly connecting devices to your network with Ethernet cables. We can create a centralized location for all your shared home devices and hard-wire all your key network capable devices such as access points, TVs, media streamers, cameras, smart home hubs, wireless access points, game consoles, computers/laptops, and more. For advanced needs, we can setup a firewall, multiple secured private networks, open guest networks, ect to ensure your network and data is safe while friends or patrons use your connection. Blue Water Audio/Video offers both pre-wiring and retrofit wiring solutions, all focused on making sure the wiring is invisible to you except where it counts - the performance. We will outfit you with the proper networking equipment (modems, routers, network switches, firewalls, ect) to meet the needs of your home or business.
WiFi mesh networks are a great start but still rely on wireless signal reliability between router nodes and have number of device, placement, seamless roaming, and other limitations. With a true component network, you can make your home WiFi bulletproof with wired access points that get full speed with support for hundreds of connected devices. Seamless roaming ensures that the location of your devices are constantly monitored and moved to the better performing access point at all times so WiFi calling or internet use stays perfect everywhere you go. With options for indoor/ outdoor coverage and clean installation capabilities via wall or ceiling mounting, you get the best coverage, aesthetics, and performance for your home or business.
Want internet out to your detached barn or another building without having to trench cables or pay for a second internet service? We can do that! Using a transmitter or receiver where there is a line of site or minimal obstructions, we can enable a reliable and fast internet connection that can reach for miles. With multi-point solutions, we can even do omni-directional transmitters and connect multiple locations from one main network source. Aside from direct wired/wireless network access, we can also create extensions of wired camera systems to cover large areas. For example, imagine a strip of individual rental properties with cameras covering key outside areas around the buildings, all connected with point to point solutions to a central networked video recorder in a main office.
Let us help you plan and prepare your home for any possible entertainment, networking, audio/video, or security solution by working with your builder/design team to pre-wire cabling before your walls are closed up.
Examples of recommended pre-wire solutions include: Ethernet/network lines for internet, whole house smart home control, or security. RG6 coax for TV/internet service. Speaker wire for surround sound/whole home audio. Wiring for alarm or permanent home lighting solutions.
Blue Water Audio/Video will handle all your low voltage wiring needs so that your home or business is ready to easily implement new projects years down the line. Don’t miss out and limit your options for technology for the years to come.
