Frequently Asked Questions About Network Setup in Balham
Do I need wired ethernet or is WiFi enough?
For most home use, WiFi is sufficient. For offices, gaming, video editing, or where reliability is critical, wired connections are better. We often recommend a hybrid approach with wired connections where possible and WiFi for convenience.
Can you install ethernet cabling in my home?
Yes, we install ethernet cabling including running cables through walls, floors, and ceilings. We use Cat6 cable as standard which supports gigabit speeds and is future-proof for faster connections.
What's the difference between a router and a switch?
A router connects your network to the internet and manages traffic. A switch expands your network by adding more wired connection ports. Most homes need just a router, while offices often need switches too.
Can you set up a network for my small business?
Absolutely. We set up business networks including file servers, shared printers, guest WiFi, and appropriate security. We can also advise on cloud solutions and remote access.
