A few things to consider if opting for an access point installation.
Wireless access points (WAP) have many features that are important to daily life. At home or in your business, you can set up different networks, schedules, bandwidth limits, MAC address limitation, traffic management, and much more. If you plan on using the hardware within a smart home environment, you want to opt for dual-bandwidth access points. This way you can connect to various types of devices and divide your traffic for a faster connection.
When it comes to your wireless connection, ITS Hawaii can implement the necessary solutions to make sure you have reliable and secured coverage throughout your home. From investing in the right hardware to applying the right security protocols, we can take care of all your networking needs.
Dead Zones
ITS Hawaii can figure out the dead spots in your property. Your wireless access points should be located near these areas to resolve your coverage issues, indoors or outdoors.
Obstructions
These can be in the form of HVAC ducts, microwave ovens, or even cordless phones. These are likely to interrupt your wireless signal.
AP Hardware
Access points (AP) are designed for easy and discreet installation in homes or business. Most wireless access points comes with a flexible mount that barely pops out, resembling the look of in-ceiling speakers.
Cost
It may seem clear, but it’s important to mention that installing a wireless access point is more expensive than a standard wireless router because it provides superior coverage and greater capacity. If your business needs multiple access points to be interconnected, the cost will increase too. However, this investment is absolutely worth it for stable and dependable internet access.
Equipment
The installation of a WAP requires the implementation of specific equipment, including switches, controllers, and Ethernet hubs. The required equipment can be intimidating if you are installing it yourself. A professional installer will ensure proper setup and can give you instructions regarding the necessary maintenance needed to run the wireless AP.
More User Access
While a wireless router can only support about 10-20 users accessing the network at a time, a wireless access point can allow over 50 or even hundreds of users access. The WAP has a much stronger ability to send and receive signals, which enables higher usage. If you are considering wireless internet for your growing business, using a WAP can be the perfect way to guarantee the efficiency of your service.
