Eero mesh for everyday coverage. Araknis enterprise for smart homes. The right network — designed, installed, and remotely monitored.
A $200 router was made for 10 devices. Your smart home has 50–80.
We size and install both — from a single Wi-Fi upgrade to a full smart home build.
For Most Homes
Excellent whole-home Wi-Fi for 2,000–4,000 sqft homes without complex smart home requirements.
Ideal when you need reliable Wi-Fi — not enterprise infrastructure.
For Smart Homes
Commercial-grade managed networking for builds with Control4, lighting control, 4K cameras, and 50+ connected devices.
Our standard spec for any home with Control4, Lutron, or pro AV.
Every component selected to keep your home online — and your install team aware before you are.
Proactive Monitoring
When a camera drops at 2 AM, we see it. When an access point shows interference, we adjust remotely. When firmware updates land, they deploy automatically. Most issues resolve before you wake up.
For anything that needs an on-site visit, we arrive with full diagnostic context — no guessing, no wasted truck rolls.

Networking is the invisible foundation. Every system depends on it — here's what runs on top.
Your automation processor, touchscreens, and keypads all communicate over the network. Reliable networking = instant response.
Luma AI cameras stream 4K over PoE. Your alarm system talks to Control4 over the network. Both need managed bandwidth.
Ethernet-connected Sonos Amps deliver zero-latency multi-room audio. Wi-Fi backup for portable speakers.
Savant smart breakers report real-time consumption over the network. Control4 automation commands flow through the same infrastructure.
Common Questions
A typical smart home has 50–80 connected devices — cameras, thermostats, locks, speakers, tablets, phones. Consumer mesh systems start degrading above 20–30. A properly designed Araknis network handles 100+ reliably. We size to your actual device count. Request a network assessment →
A VLAN is a logical partition that separates traffic on the same physical network. With it, a compromised IoT device can't reach your laptops, Control4 always gets low-latency bandwidth, and your guest network has zero crossover with personal devices. We build four lanes by default — personal, AV/automation, IoT, guest.
Dramatically. Control4 keypads, touchscreens, and the automation processor all communicate over your network. A saturated network introduces latency — lights that hesitate, music that stutters, scenes that don't execute cleanly. A dedicated Control4 VLAN with guaranteed bandwidth eliminates it. Most 'smart home reliability' problems trace back to the network.
Local control continues. Control4, Lutron, and most smart home subsystems run on your local network — not the cloud. Keypads, scenes, lighting, audio, and climate control all keep working. What stops: remote access from outside the home, cloud-dependent services, and OvrC monitoring. Everything restores automatically when the connection returns.
Enterprise-grade networking designed for your smart home — reliable, secure, and remotely managed.
