Taming the Wi-Fi

Someday I wish that my home network connection is fully reliable. I have done a number of things over the years to try to tame it, but it never seems to get all the way there.

But I suppose as I add more devices, there will be problems. I have had a number of glitches with VOIP or FaceTime-style calls.

This morning, I decided to move all of the “smart home” devices off my main Wi-Fi network and on to the guest network. The guest network does not have any access to other devices on the network so should decrease the possibility of interfering. This included all of the Amazon Echo devices, smart lights, switches and plugs.

It wasn’t easy. I had to reset all of the smart stuff and then re-connect it to the different network. The only device I was not able to move was the LED strip that I installed in the bedroom. I should have done all of this when I installed the devices in the first place, but better late than never.
