Stream Music Throughout Your Home or Business

9:58 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

You have created an extensive music library in iTunes. How do you stream your library throughout your house or business?

One solution is from a company called Sonos. Here is a link that explains their system: http://www.sonos.com/system

As you can see from their website, the heart of any music streaming system is a great wireless network. Unfortunately, it has been our experience that during a major home remodeling, an electrician that is installing new electrical outlets and light switches is also designing the wireless network. Someone who understands computer networks should be the person designing your wireless network.

Wireless Network Rules of Thumb:
  • The wireless router should be located as high as possible in your home or office. 
  • It should be located in a central location.
  • You may require more than one wireless router to have complete coverage in your home or business. If this is the case, multiple wireless routers are tied together with a network cable. How that cable will be run from one wireless router to another is a major design consideration. Cable is much easier to run before drywall goes up or finished flooring is complete.
Having a computer networking expert designing wireless network should be part of your overall blue print for your home or business remodeling project.
