How the installation of a new Internet wall socket aids slow connection

So the Internet is now linked to your home, but it's not quite what you expected. It's not nearly fast enough. When someone is streaming a movie or playing a game, the connection slows down. Or you work from home and are fed up with WiFi interruptions.

While upgrading to a faster speed pack may be one answer, it is a recurring expense that may not resolve the issue. Reducing the number of devices sharing a WiFi connection is the most effective method for resolving dropouts and sluggish speeds. No, we're not suggesting you throw away your electronics. We do advocate installing Internet wall sockets in a strategic location.

Various varieties of Internet wall sockets

There are five distinct Internet connection types available:

• FTTP stands for Fibre To The Premise
• FTTB stands for Fibre To The Building
• FTTN stands for Fibre To The Node
• FTTC stands for Fibre To The Curb
• HFC stands for Hybrid Fibre Coaxial 

These are the many connections that are determined by the infrastructure in your region. HFC can deliver a fiber internet connection to your home from the node. We advocate using a Cat6 cable to network connect your home to the network outlets when the Internet enters your home.

You will discover that the Internet contractors will only install one wall outlet; any additional outlets will be at your expense. After the initial connection, all subsequent Internet wall plates after the router are identical.

Where can we put a new Internet wall socket?

After the initial Internet connection and router, there are a few restrictions on the placement of additional wall outlets.

However, there are a few general guidelines for installing Internet wall sockets:

– If you can't have a powerpoint there, don't install a wall socket there

– If you reside in a unit or apartment building, examine the Body Corporate laws

– The cost of new sockets will depend on the ease of access to the area for the data cabling and installing the wall socket.

Common installation issues with Internet wall sockets

When individuals use Internet adaptor connections in old telephone wall outlets, we encounter problems. There are two major issues with this:

– it relies on ancient copper wire, built for phone calls, to bring high-speed Internet to your home

– the adaptor can become loose, decreasing the efficiency of an already weak connection.

Using obsolete phone wall sockets for your Internet connection can result in dropped connections, sluggish speeds, and frustrating connections.

Next, we encounter issues when networks are not optimized or correctly configured. This can include:

– the router not being plugged into the first wall plate

– too many devices accessing the WiFi

– many devices simultaneously streaming video or playing games over WiFi

– using the incorrect type of data cabling.
