If the signal is weak in parts of the house or garden, devices drop offline, cameras stop recording to the cloud and app controls become unreliable. Before adding lots of smart products, it is worth making sure your network can handle them.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4c4c6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d4c4c6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/live.allanuxweb.com\/security-installations\/smart-home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/post-1-image-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-192\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ce0648 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"3ce0648\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;highlighted_vertical_offset_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>We check signal strength around your property and, where needed, install mesh Wi-Fi or wired access points to cover dead spots.
