When it comes to home WIFI, the most important thing is that it works - so you never have to think about it. Unfortunately, with many home WIFI networks this is not always the case. Poor connectivity, slow speeds and dropped connections are all too common. There are some steps you can take to improve WIFI performance in your home, however, such as moving your router to a different location, making sure its settings are optimized, or even upgrading to a newer model. But when these actions don't result in any noticeable improvement, it may be time to consider a different type of WIFI solution.

Before purchasing your own WIFI router system, it's essential to consider several factors. Owning and managing a WIFI system means you’re fully responsible for maintaining its performance and security—a task that’s not as simple as it may sound.
Most standard routers lack a built-in network firewall, leaving your connected devices more vulnerable to cyber threats like viruses, intrusions, and malware. This often requires investing in additional security measures, such as antivirus software or a separate network firewall, to protect your home network adequately. Ensuring your system is secure is a constant task that may involve updates, monitoring, and a working knowledge of cybersecurity essentials.
When buying a router, you must ensure it’s capable of delivering the speeds you receive from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). For example, all Norvado residential customers on fiber facilities receive lightning-fast 1 Gbps internet speeds. A subpar router could bottleneck your connection, preventing you from experiencing the full potential of your service.
Price is a significant consideration when it comes to purchasing your own WIFI system. Standard systems, including routers and mesh units, can be expensive. Entry-level systems typically start at around $300, but costs can soar to $500 or more, especially if you require additional mesh units to ensure reliable coverage throughout your home.
Owning your WIFI system means you're not only responsible for the initial setup but also for managing the system over time. Installation, configuring settings, and ensuring compatibility across devices require a degree of technical comfort. Even if you’re tech-savvy, future issues—such as connectivity problems or malfunctioning equipment—may arise that you’re unable to resolve on your own without expert assistance.
While owning a WIFI router might seem like an opportunity for greater control and potential savings, the challenges of ensuring security, compatibility, and ongoing management could outweigh the benefits for many. Consider these factors carefully before making a decision that best fits your needs, technical ability, and budget.
