Do you remember when our home’s internet connections consisted of a few laptops, a desktop, and maybe a gaming console? Those days are long gone. Today, homes in the U.S. have, on average, about 22 connected devices. If your home’s a smart home, that number increases significantly. 

In a smart home, your smart devices connect to your home automation platform and to each other. This allows for whole-home interconnectivity—the shades that automatically lower when the temperature increases and the lights that brighten when the shades lower. Your home network system is the heart of your smart home. When your network is down or sluggish, your smart home will not respond as it should.
