Technologies that require access to networks and the internet are being introduced to almost every new appliance thses days. Whether your fridge wants to order your groceries or you want to control your lighting from your phone you will require network access. So what is better for your home, an ethernet or Wi-Fi network?
Currently there are two main considerations when it comes to home network and internet connection. Firstly there is the speed of your internet connection and second there is your Wi-Fi connection. Generally speaking, your Wi-Fi will be able to handle your internet speed without causing any bottlenecks. With new technologies Wi-Fi is able to transfer at around 860 Mb/s, so unless your internet connection is faster than that it shouldn't slow you down at all. However the issue here is with latency, which is the delay in the signal or how long it takes from you pressing the button till you see the effect. There is a bit of a delay when signals travel back and forth between a Wi-Fi device and your wireless router. The more interference in your signal, the greater the delay.
The main benefits to having Wi-Fi over ethernet cables is simply convenience. With Wi-Fi you don't need cables and thus gives you the benefit of mobility and as most devices have Wi-Fi built in these days connection is usually quick and easy.
Ethernet cables come to the fore and will benefit you greatly when transferring large amounts of data over your local or home network. If you do this regularly and use devices that do not move around, like a desktop computer or gaming system, ethernet cabling may be the best option. A Cat 6 ethernet cable is capable of around 10Gb/s. which is over 10 times faster than the latest Wi-Fi technology. This makes a huge difference when it comes to transfer speeds and also latency. Ethernet cables are not only quicker, but better shielded and are much more robust when it comes to dealing with interference.
When connecting a new phone line or ADSL service to a townhouse, apartment, flat or unit service providers are obligated to connect the new phone line or ADSL service to the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) located at the unit complex. Some units have individual lead-in cables direct to their residence and any new service should work at the phone socket or ADSL point upon activation. If a MDF is on site, the new phone line or ADSL service will be connected by phone carrier or IP provider to the MDF, your new phone line or ADSL service will not work until the cable pair is jumpered from the "A" side of the MDF to the "B" side of the MDF which has the phone cable that runs from the MDF back to your unit, flat or apartment.
When you are advised of the activation of your phone line or ADSL service, ask your provider for the cable pair details, this is usually something like "Vertical A, Pair 06". To save money it is also advisable to ask about the location of the MDF at the unit complex so you can advise our technician of cable pair details, new phone number and MDF location. Jumpering (or connecting) the cable to your existing line leading back to your residence should not take long. We will then need to test the socket for dialtone and/or ADSL sync in your home before finishing up.
