What are Network Design Services and why do I need them?

My Internet Provider already gives me a WiFi router. Why do I need to consider Hard-wiring my device

Opting to hard-wire your devices—connecting them directly to a network via Ethernet cables—offers several advantages over using Wi-Fi. Here’s why it might be a smart choice:


1. Speed and Reliability: Hard-wired connections typically provide faster and more consistent internet speeds. They aren’t affected by distance, walls, or interference from other wireless devices, making them ideal for activities like gaming or video streaming.


2. Lower Latency: Ethernet connections generally have lower latency, meaning less delay in sending and receiving data. This is especially important for online gaming or video conferencing, where every millisecond counts.


3. Better Security: Wired connections are inherently more secure, as someone would need physical access to your network to intercept data. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, can be vulnerable to hacking or unauthorized access if not properly secured.


4. No Signal Interference: Unlike Wi-Fi, which can be disrupted by other wireless networks, household appliances, or even walls, Ethernet connections are immune to interference, ensuring stable performance.


5. Energy Efficiency: Devices connected via Ethernet often consume less power compared to constantly maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, which can be useful for reducing energy usage over time.


6. Bandwidth Management: By connecting high-bandwidth devices (like gaming consoles, smart TVs, or desktop computers) through Ethernet, you free up your Wi-Fi for mobile devices and smart home gadgets, optimizing overall network performance.


While Wi-Fi offers the convenience of mobility and fewer cables, hard-wiring is the go-to solution when speed, stability, and security are priorities.
