Pros & Cons of Hardwired vs. Mesh Home Networks

Which Method Is Best for Reliable, Speedy Internet? 

Nowadays, a strong internet connection is essential in every room of the house. We rely on Wi-Fi and the internet to communicate, stream music, TV, and movies, and even control smart devices. 

Unfortunately, most routers from internet service providers are low-quality and can’t reach every area of your property. To solve this, you can expand your network in one of two ways: 

  • Install hardwired access points that connect to the main router and broadcast signals to new areas.  
  • Create a mesh network with a group of wireless devices that relay data by "meshing" together rather than connecting through a central access point. 

Still confused? Unsure which is best? Let’s compare both mesh and wired home networking systems to help you find the right option in Lighthouse Point, FL. 

A Guide to Digital Outdoor Lighting Control

Discover Digital Control for Landscape Lighting Systems 

In our last blog post, we wrote about the benefits of digital lighting control compared to centralized lighting systems. But hang on—what does that mean? 

Centralized lighting is the original method for creating multi-room lighting control systems. Lighting groups are created through wiring that controls lights at the circuit and zone level—rather than individual light fixtures. Lights in a centralized system may not have built-in intelligence, and to make any grouping changes, you’d need to rewire the system. 

Alternatively, digital lighting control systems don’t require a central panel as a middleman between control systems and light fixtures. Instead, smart LED lights have their own digital address that can be individually controlled and adjusted through your smart home interface. Reconfiguring zones and groups is all done digitally—not physically with wiring. 

And digital lighting control isn’t restricted to the indoors. You can digitally control your outdoor lighting design with high-end smart LED fixtures and control systems. Let’s look at how it works and will enhance your outdoor lighting in Parkland, FL.

Explore the Incredible Advantages of Digital Lighting Systems 

Interested in a smart lighting control system for your home? Lighting control is typically categorized into one of two methods: centralized or digital. 

Digital lighting, a newer technology, allows for the direct control of individual light fixtures without the need for centralized lighting panels. However, centralized systems have long been the standard in residential settings. 

Let’s compare digital and centralized lighting to help you find the right lighting design solution in Parkland, FL.
