IoT – How to Optimize WiFi for the Connected Home

The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as a system of computing devices that have the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human interaction. It's likely you have several connected IoT devices in your home; examples include video doorbells, intelligent virtual assistants (IVA), smart heaters, and smart air conditioners.

While most people might think of WiFi in terms of their personal computing power, all of these connected devices in the home need reliable, fast Internet to support them.

However, your current home WiFi may not be adequate to handle the various IoT devices, laptops going, streaming services — all at the same time. This can result in sputtering, frequently buffering connections that might be spotty throughout the house.

For a more robust, reliable, consistent WiFi experience in the home, consider optimizing your WiFi.

While the advanced technology of many connected devices may seem futuristic, don't feel intimidated by the installation and deployment of these IoT devices. Linksys has a wide range of easy-to-install WiFi devices to consider.
