Many businesses and buildings face internet connectivity issues. Sometimes, it can be hard to connect to wifi, no matter how much you have IT companies check out things. The physical building and location in which you’re trying to get connectivity could be the problem. If you’re having trouble maintaining a stable wifi connection, read on to see the benefits of hardwiring your office.
Assess your Infrastructure
Do you work in an old building? Is your office surrounded by brick, or are there metal poles/pipes in the walls? This could be a main reason for your struggles with connectivity. Have your IT consultant check out your infrastructure to plan accordingly. They can tell you what lies between your walls, and what it would take to hardwire your space.
Hardwiring
Hardwiring your office means that each computer receives an ethernet cable that inputs directly to the computer. Each employee would have a solid, stable connection regardless of the internet. An ethernet cable provides the strongest possible internetconnection as it’s coming straight from the router or source.
Security
Wifi is an insecure, shared spectrum. By having a wired office, your employees don’t have to worry about bandwidth or connectivity issues because you’re guaranteed a strong connection with the cable.
Speed and Performance
Hardwiring provides employees with quicker speed and less lag time. It allows for better performance, and more effective data transfer. Wired connections are more stable and reduce the risk of a data breach.
Hard-wired cables clearly have an advantage over wireless internet because it’s a single point of connectivity. This makes it easier to assess and maintain connection. If you don’t need hardwiring, you don’t have to get it. But it’s worth it if you struggle to maintain connection, or if your company is digital-based and you want the security.
