Of the six diagrams for a home network, my current one is a hybrid of the “Easy at-home setup” and the “smart home network.” I have all the devices of the easy at home combined with a few smart home devices that all are connected via wifi. In the easy at home, I have my PC, laptop, printer, cell phone, and tablet. With the innovative devices, I have my garage door, refrigerator, oven, exterior lights, two smart TVs, and alarm system. Again, all these dives are connected via two wifi connections with a modem, router, and two wifi connections.
With my home network, I do not have anything specific that I go by to label any particular device other than a simplistic approach. However, I plan to connect more of my devices to my Amazon Alexa, and I noticed I would need a more complex system. Such as “smart TV upstairs loft or “master bedroom light” is currently in the works, but for now, I use the same label method in my diagram below.
Out of the six home network diagrams presented in the article, I have to say that the “reliable home network setup” is the one I see with the most concern. Yes, it does provide a good network connection with the wired options, but having that many dives wired through your how is going to require a lot of carpentry knowledge to run the wires throughout the house unless you have it built with these options ahead of time: I ave a very simialr layout and a decent size residence. I have just a modem and router but have noticed that two wifi connections have worked great; I use one for the upstairs and the other for the downstairs. However, as I add more devices, I can see the benefit of adding an exporter to my network to maintain a good connection for all my devices.
