Routers/WIFI

Wifi is becoming increasingly important for Internet of Things (IoT) in our connected digital lives. This product not only has 3 points of wifi coverage, it is one unified system which greatly reduces the complexity of setup and maintenance. It also has a wonderful app for configuration and continued management of the system.

For those with children, it also supports active internet hours in which certain devices can connect to the wifi for those parents looking for more control over their chidlren’s internet access.

The 2 wifi extenders can work to extend in one direction or both directions, ensuring that even larger homes 2500+ Sq ft will get amazing wifi coverage.

Modems

Comcast, the other large provider of internet services in El Dorado County, is a great service in most areas available. The main issue we find with most homes is Comcast's own equipment. Comcast has the ability to connect to their routers remotely and sometimes that can lead to disastrous results!

We have always recommended to not use Comcast's phone service, which allows you to use your own cable modem and router. When configured with one of the routers above you can be ensured that your internet connection will have less drop outs and problems with your networked items such as your security camera system, or other wireless devices.

If you plan to use Comcast for landlines or TV, you will unfortunately have to use Comcast’s equipment for your internet as well, as both the Ethernet lines and phone lines plug into the All-in-one Modem/Router they provide upon installation of their service.

Otherwise, if you plan to use Youtube TV, you can bypass TV service with Comcast and be able to use this Modem as an alternative. To bypass using Comcast/Xfinity as a phone source, one can set up Google Voice as an alternative for a free phone number. We mention these services as there are alternatives to phone lines and TV services now, to minimize your monthly internet/TV/landline bills, but still have the same services.
