WiFi Installation Services in Torquay, Paignton & Brixham, Totnes, Teignmouth & Newton Abbot

One of the most common problems with WiFi signals is that they can be disrupted by physical obstacles like walls, floors, and ceilings. This often leads to weak signals or dropped connections in certain rooms or areas of your property.

To overcome these issues, WiFi access points can be strategically installed throughout your space to extend WiFi coverage, eliminate dead spots, and ensure your smart devices can communicate seamlessly. Whether you're at home or in a business environment, we can create a solution that keeps you connected.

A WiFi access point (AP) is a device that connects to your existing router (either wired or wirelessly) to extend the range of your WiFi. Essentially, it's like adding multiple routers around your property, all emitting a WiFi signal to boost coverage.

There are two main types of access points:

1. Wired Access Points: These are the most reliable, as the communication is done over a wired connection, ensuring no loss of speed or performance.
2. Wireless Mesh Access Points: These units communicate wirelessly with each other, but their speeds decrease with each "hop" between devices. Wireless mesh systems can also suffer from signal loss when passing through walls or other solid objects, in my opinion these are a less stable option.

Torbay Digital can install your wifi access points, including outdoor-grade access points for external areas like gardens, patios, or outdoor offices. We will help you choose the right brand and style of access points to suit your property and needs.

A WiFi mesh system involves multiple access points that are all connected to the main router to create a seamless network. As you move around your property, the system "hands off" your connection to the nearest access point with the strongest signal, so you won’t experience interruptions as you move through your space.

We can install a wifi mesh systems to fulfill your needs. Whether you're covering a home or business, we will ensure the network is configured to provide consistent, high-speed WiFi in all areas of your property.

While both wired and wireless mesh systems can extend your WiFi coverage, wired access points offer the most reliable and fastest connection. With wired systems, each access point can carry the full speed of your internet connection without the risk of reduced performance, which is common in mesh systems that lose bandwidth with each wireless hop, or a failed node can cause the entire system to fail.

Torbay Digital will discreetly route the necessary cables for your wired WiFi access points, using our years of experience to ensure the best placement for optimal performance. We’ll also configure your access points to avoid interference, ensuring you get the most reliable and high-performing WiFi possible.
