{"id":20,"count":2,"description":"<h2>WiFi Networks for Homes and Villas in Kuwait<\/h2>\n<p>The most common complaint in Kuwaiti villas is weak WiFi on the upper floors or in the annexe. The cause is always the same: a single ISP router trying to cover a two- or three-storey concrete building. The answer is not a stronger router but distributed access points.<\/p>\n<h3>Access points versus wireless mesh<\/h3>\n<p>Wireless mesh systems link their units over the air, losing roughly half the speed at every hop. Omada access points connect over CAT6 network cable and draw power from that same cable via PoE, so you get full speed at every point without needing an extra power socket.<\/p>\n<h3>How many points do you need?<\/h3>\n<p>A practical rule: one access point per 100 to 120 square metres of open space, or one per floor in a villa. Concrete walls and steel doors cut the 5 GHz signal severely, so place the points in hallways and living areas rather than inside rooms.<\/p>\n<h3>WiFi 6 or WiFi 7?<\/h3>\n<p>WiFi 6 (such as the EAP653) is enough for most homes, and its real advantage is not speed but handling more devices at once, which matters in a smart home with dozens of devices. WiFi 7 adds the 6 GHz band, which is only useful for large villas and newer devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Technical note: cabling<\/h3>\n<p>Use full-copper CAT6 cable (not CCA) for any run carrying PoE; copper-clad aluminium cable heats up and degrades over time. Do not exceed 100 metres on a single run, and if you need more, add an intermediate switch.<\/p>\n<h3>Installation<\/h3>\n<p>Installation of the point is included in the price inside Kuwait where network cabling is already in place. Running new cable is quoted after a survey, based on the number of points and the length of the runs. Send us the house plan, or its area and the number of floors, on WhatsApp and we will send back a coverage layout and a quote.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/homewagon.com\/en\/product-category\/networking\/","name":"Networking","slug":"networking","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":4,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/homewagon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/homewagon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/homewagon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/homewagon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
