A search for the best home network on the internet can feel a bit like falling into a rabbit hole. The internet in itself can become a maze of information. Every search leads to the access point of another. Those access points of information seemingly become endless. A never-ending labyrinth of knowledge. In fact, a few key lines from Alice in Wonderland come to mind.
“The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.”
Rabbits have diligent purpose as they create their maze of tunnels. Knowing which trail to follow requires expertise. If you choose the wrong tunnel, you may go deeper than expected as Alice did. Down she fell. After all, she wasn’t a rabbit. She didn’t have the expertise.
“Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.”
Our expert team at Synergy Integrated Systems strives to keep you from falling. Ultimately, our goal is to keep you from losing yourself in the tunnels altogether. We aim to catch you from the beginning to ease your path. With us, you needn’t wonder what shall happen next. We do have the expertise.
How Does a Home Network Work?
To keep you far from sinking into the dark tunnels of home network mazes, consider first how a home network works. Then, we’ll review some wired and wireless device information that helps you navigate the wonderful, wide world of a wireless network.
We’ll start with simplicity. A home network involves more than one computer that you wish to connect. By connecting these devices, they can then communicate. Next, you need hardware and software that coordinates the exchange of information between connected devices. This is often in the form of a router and applications built into the operating system. Finally, you need a path in place for the information to follow from one computer to the other.
To break it down even further, consider a wheel with spokes. Initially, you need a core device that is the hub for wired and wireless devices throughout your home. It’s akin to the hub of the wheel. This hub is the core of your wireless network. It allows each spoke of the wheel access to multiple devises that are wired and wireless. All connected devices communicate with the hub as spokes within the wheel itself. Information radiates from the hub to your multiple devices.
More often than not, an external internet connection is necessary. With that in place, you can access information from your internet service provider. Once properly tied into your overall system, each of your connected devices can use the internet system as well.
The more you add, the more complicated it gets. A home network can begin to feel like a maze in itself. But, don’t worry, our team handles that labyrinth and guides you through every step of the way. You may be lost in wonder but we certainly won’t allow you to get lost in Wonderland!
Phrases to Help Navigate the Rabbit Holes
Now that you have a very basic idea of home network setup, it helps to fully understand a few key phrases that will come up. Some may seem simple, and even intuitive, but having an actual definition ensures everyone is on the same page.
Here are some definitions for quick reference if you need it:
Router – When referring to computers, a router is a piece of hardware or software having a specific IP address and connected to network nodes for the transfer of data between computers.
Wireless Network – A wireless network is a system of devices using radio waves or the like to communicate, as opposed to cables.
Wi-Fi Network – A Wi-Fi network is simply an abbreviation of wireless network.
Wireless – In the dictionary, this simply means “having no wires.” When used to describe a computer network, it refers to a wireless network.
Wired or Cable – While these are two of the words that seem pretty easy to understand, consider the exact definition in the dictionary: “an insulated wire or wires having a protective casing and used for transmitting electricity or telecommunication signals.”
Wireless Connection – This refers to the actual data connection between network nodes that transfer information without wires.
Wifi – Typically written as Wi-Fi, this refers to wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless network connections. Contrary to popular belief, Wifi is not short for “wireless fidelity.”
Wi-Fi Device (or wireless devices) – Based on wireless technology, a Wi-Fi device is simply any device capable of communicating via wireless means. For instance, laptops, Smart TVs, smartphones, etc. are some examples of wireless devices.
Wi-Fi Signal – Wi-Fi signals travel on radio waves at set frequencies.
Wireless Router – The device that receives the wireless signal and decodes it. A wireless router is necessary to provide access to the internet or a private compute network.
Internet – While we all have a general idea of what the internet is, it’s helpful to have it put into an exact definition. The Google dictionary defines the internet as: “a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.”
Internet Service Provider – Also known as a service provider, this one is easy. It’s simply a company that provides subscribers access to the internet.
Wi-fi Speeds – Measured in megabits per seconds, Wi-Fi speeds refer to the rate that data travels between devices.
Wi-Fi Protected Access – Also referred to as WPA, the Wi-Fi Alliance created Wi-Fi Protected Access to secure wireless computer networks.
Ethernet – An ethernet is a system used to connect multiple computers and to control the passing of information to avoid simultaneous transmissions.
Ethernet Ports – The port is the socket on a device where you plug in an ethernet cable.
Gigabyte Ethernet – Based on the technology of Ethernet, a Gigabit Ethernet is used in LANs to transmit ethernet frames at 1 Gbps.
LAN – Local area network, which is a computer network that links devices within a building or group of adjacent buildings.
Modem – Short for modulater-demodulator, a modem allows a computer or other device to connect to the internet.
Wired Network – A system of devices tethered by wires or cables that provide communication between devices.
What is the Best Home Network Setup?
Whether you have a wired network or operate solely on wireless connection, your initial setup is critical. Your choices are wired, wireless or a combination of both. To determine what is best for you, let’s consider advantages and disadvantages of your options.
The first advantages of a wired network are higher Wi-Fi speeds and reliability. This is why many businesses opt for wired as opposed to wireless altogether. Since wired connections are less prone to radio interference, they tend to work when you need them. Likewise, wired networks have more generous bandwidth caps, which means that you can transmit more data. Enhanced security and the ability to connect over long distances are additional advantages.
While a wired network is more secure in some cases, there are a few downsides. For instance, cables and wires are unsightly and sometimes difficult to manage. These wires are also open to interference from one another and this issue must be addressed by a professional. Additionally, lack of mobility makes expansion difficult. Plus, a fully-wired network tends to take more time to install and troubleshoot.
On the other hand, wireless networks have advantages as well. Increased mobility is key in a wireless network. In a business situation, the ability to physically move without losing connection increases productivity. In a home, it allows for seamless interfacing. Wireless is also more flexible. You can easily update, expand or meet new configuration requirements. Similarly, installation is less complicated, which results in faster service at less cost.
However, with wireless the Wi-Fi signal occasionally loses quality through walls or obstructions. Plus, interference can occur on the radio waves the Wi-Fi signal follows. These signals are also more open to hacking as anyone nearby can access your signal. For safety, you must make sure that your system is Wi-Fi-protected. While Wi-Fi speeds are a bit slower than wired, new technology alleviates this issue considerably.
Often, home network setup requires a mixture of wired and wireless. This process begins with structured wiring.
Solutions in Structured Wiring
Another potential rabbit hole is understanding structured wiring. Structured wiring is the foundation on which your home communication and entertainment network is built. A well-planned structure is critical to the performance of your home’s network.
For premium data transfer rates and seamless integration, it’s imperative to have an experienced professional install your structured wiring. Our team at Synergy Integrated Systems has years of experiencing designing and organizing connective technologies. We customize our systems to each home and client. We take the time to specifically tailor your system to your needs.
Moreover, we provide seamless installation. Wires running throughout your home aren’t aesthetically pleasing. We embed technology so that it blends into the design of your house.

There are many products on the market that tout smart home automation. Numerous products for control and automation include programmable thermostats that make climate control easier. Other products, allow you to adjust lighting and window shades with a remote. Some help you control video and audio. Several provide remote access to control security and door locks. Our team at Synergy Integrated Systems, enjoys the proliferation of all this smart-house integration. Especially, when we find a company that does it all. ELAN Systems is that company. In fact, they’re one of the best and a global leader in automation systems.
What does that mean for you? We’d like to show you what it means. To fully visualize it, let’s imagine a day in the life of a smart home with total control thanks to ELAN Systems. (more…)
We have a word of the day for you – domotics. Perhaps, you’ve heard it. Likely, you haven’t, as we’ve noticed even our spell-checking platform is confused by it. Either way, it’s a fabulous word that results in fabulous things. Derived from the Latin word domus, meaning house, domotics refers to technology that makes a home smart. Basically, it refers to smart home automation. Better yet, we want to make YOU smarter by providing a little information on ELAN home automation.
A Brief History of Smart Home Automation
First, let’s backtrack a bit as we understand the full definition of domotics and smart home automation. In the early 1900s, the idea of household products doing work independently of human assistance proliferated with the introduction of electricity. Washers, refrigerators and sewing machines were just a few of the labor-saving machines that made our tasks at home easier.
By 1975, desire for more control met new technology. At this point, wired communication provided freedom to regulate additional devices with brief radio frequency bursts. Primarily, this led to remote control of lights and appliances. As we move into 2020, the landscape has grown even further.
What Can Be Smart in Your Home?
Essentially, it’s easier to consider what you can’t automate. Even with what you may come up with, there is probably a company out there with a solution! In fact, Synergy Integrated Systems is one of them. We strive to stay on the cutting-edge of smart technology and partner with the best companies capable of providing it. ELAN home automation is one of those elite providers. More importantly, we are proud to be an experienced installer of their products.
To best grasp what we can do for you and your home, consider how our expertise can make systems in your home operate smartly. Just a few things that you can currently control with smart home automation include:
Lighting – control ambiance no matter where you are
Video – movies, games, shows, whatever you like, view it from any room in the house
Sound – send sound soaring indoors and out
Heating and Air – schedule the atmosphere ahead of time or change temps with the touch of a button
Security -keep your home safe with innovative features
Sprinklers – water the lawn without even being home
Smoke and CO Detectors – synch sensors into your smart home system
Air Quality – monitor levels within your home
Kitchen Devices – cook dinner while you’re still at work
Blinds and Shades – control lighting without moving anything but your finger
Keep in mind, this just a sampling of what you can do.
Benefits of ELAN Home Automation
To understand the full benefits of ELAN home automation, it helps to have more specific examples. After all, you’re only as good as the tools you have. ELAN products are powerful, versatile and adaptable.
Initially, consider relaxation and entertainment. ELAN approaches these directives with several tactics to meet both goals. Using one interface, ELAN allows you to control music, video and essentially everything else with the touch of a button. Send sound soaring in any room of your house. Bring movies or your favorite sporting event with you as you enter new rooms. Change channels, turn audio up, turn it down, whatever you need, with a unified system.
Moreover, as you enjoy your sights and sounds, relax in the perfect ambiance. Manipulate lights, shades and blinds with one command. Or, set ambiance ahead of time to fit specific moods. Program lights to begin at specific times such as wake-up lighting. Or, request a mood when you’re ready for it such as party lighting or dinner music.
Similarly, control climate to set the perfect environment. Once you get comfortable, the last thing you want to do is hop up and adjust air. Change the temperature with the touch of a button. Likewise, climate systems actually anticipate what you may need. Therefore, you can relax in comfort without giving it a second thought. Pre-set climate for various times of the day, eliminating the need for changing the thermostat at various times.
Enjoy the outdoors? Your smart home does too! Remotely, program the hot tub to heat and open the lid before you head out to hop in. Set music and lighting throughout your outdoor space for the perfect ambiance. Forgot to water the lawn? No worries, your automated smart home remembers for you.
All of the elements mentioned above are also easy to use. ELAN’s intuitive systems are easy to understand and enjoy. Better yet, their elegant controls blend seamlessly into your home.
Why You Should Make Your Home Smarter
Now that you know smart home capabilities, you may wonder why you should begin installation now. Foremost, this technology is more affordable than ever. Plus, it’s advanced to a point that it’s also easy to update when it advances again. Okay, we admit, that may sound a little confusing. To clarify, you don’t have to add all systems at once. If you desire to advance your system later, you can. Or, if technological options improve, installing new products is much simpler than in the past. Integration is the key. More and more home products are made to work seamlessly with automation controls.
Smart homes save money too. A smart HVAC system intuits needs and adjusts to be efficient. Plus, you can easily view a readout of your utility usage. Correspondingly, automatically-timed shades use light efficiently. Blinds and shades that react to internal temperatures also save on your utility bills.
Not only are these perks good for the environment, they increase your quality of living as well. Saving time and being comfortable makes for a happier home. Saving money on utility bills adds to the happiness factor! Often, we’re so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. Your smart home won’t forget.
Similarly, when you improve your home for yourself, it improves it for others. Consequently, smart home automation can actually increase your house’s value. Not only will your family enjoy it, future occupants will savor the benefits as well. When it comes time to sell, these features will add value to your investment.
A Smart Home is a Safe Home
Most importantly, at Synergy Integrated Systems, we help make smart homes safe homes. From nearly anywhere in the world, turn lights on or off. With the touch of a button, ensure you closed all the doors. Double-check that you locked all entry-points. Ensure your security system is active and view live footage.

A decade ago, Crestron began planting seeds that grew into the landscape of digital media as we know it today. Those seeds flourished through the years and now flower into multiple DM NVX platforms. From encoders, decoders, DM NVX Cards and DM NVX Director, this AV distribution technology transforms how we network. Ultimately, it creates a more seamless, real-time experience as all components work in tandem.
To best benefit from all that these systems offer, you first need an expert installation company. Synergy Integrated Systems is excited to be the Raleigh area resource to help you enjoy this innovative technology.
DM NVX Advantages
Initially, to fully grasp how DM NVX changed the landscape overall, it’s useful to understand its capabilities. Therefore, let’s review a few of the key elements it provides.
Foremost, superior image quality immediately separates this technology from its predecessors. Delivering real-time, full-motion 4K60 video, it’s more than suited for presentations, live camera imaging, and video conferences. Essentially, it’s nearly as close as you can get to “being there” when you physically cannot.
Likewise, this is the only network AV solution that ensures no latency. In other words, this patent-pending technology from Crestron eliminates any latency most have unfortunately seen during network transmissions. Awkward pauses and glitches are all but eliminated due to simultaneous encoding/decoding and scales. Thus, you can enjoy quality sound and video without delays.
Similarly, the ease of control reduces room for human error. Switch and control modes on the fly with a Crestron system or XiO director. Moreover, this saves costs. No longer do you need to modify network structure with costly hardware changes.
Speaking of hardware, DM NVX software is infinitely scalable. Across all networks, its encoders and decoders deliver content throughout your home or business. With a point-to-point set-up, you reach thousands of endpoints.
Additionally, this medium delivers display accolades at 4K60, 4:4:4 and HDR on a 1GbEthernet. Consequently, you needn’t worry about 10Gb infrastructures that many network AV products require. Clearly, this also saves on costly upgrades and extra maintenance.
Finally, the ability to control network security is imperative. In fact, this is often one of the most critical directives. Features such as Active Directory, credential management, and 802.1x authentication and more, create a secure solution for all users.
Finding Superior Installation
Now that you understand the basics of this innovative system, it’s appropriate to find a quality installation company. After all, these superlatives mean little without an informed, supportive and skilled team.

Supreme Control with ELAN Home Systems
Obviously, the ability to control audio and video on our televisions has a long history. For the most part, we expect it. Now, with the multiple ELAN home systems available, you can do that and so much more. In fact, ELAN home automation does so much it’s hard to know where to even begin.
To keep it simple, let’s start with audio and video control options. With unmatched convenience, ELAN reinvents home entertainment. Foremost, a single elegant interface allows you to enjoy consistent experiences across multiple devices. From wall panels and remotes to personal tablets or phones, customize audio and video in any room of your home. Ultimately, from this same interface, you can control nearly any aspect connected to your home’s systems inside and out.
Speaking of other aspects, consider lighting and climate control. ELAN’s intuitive interface actually anticipates your needs and keeps your family comfortable while conserving energy. Smart lighting greets you when you wake up or arrive home. Conversely, set lights to turn off when not needed. Or, switch them off remotely if you’ve accidentally left them on. Similarly, program shades to raise or lower in response to sunlight or indoor temperatures. Better yet, ELAN provides a detailed history of your energy consumption allowing you to monitor and adjust usage.
Next, not everything that we wish to control is indoors. ELAN extends to outdoor lighting in landscaping, audio, and video. Therefore, you can enjoy the ease of home automation outdoors as well. Plus, you can program lawn watering, spa pumps and covers too! To see an ELAN system in action, check out Kim Erle’s Green Smart Home.

Last but not least, ELAN offers multiple security features. For instance, provide landscapers limited remote access to monitor the system and make adjustments.

Lock gates, turn lights off or on and even speak through the interface when needed. Likewise, with smart apps, you can do each of these tasks from nearly anywhere in the world.
Correspondingly, our customers also feel secure with our installation process. Our highly-trained team at Synergy Integrated Systems offers friendly service around the clock.

As you search for a home audio system to enhance your experience of sound, consider the power of sound itself. Since nearly the beginning of time, the potency of it resonates in our everyday lives. When sound becomes music, the raw power becomes a conduit to our soul.
“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel.”
Markedly, the team at Synergy Integrated Systems grasps that exact inspiration. Moreover, we have the fuel to send the power of sound soaring throughout your home.
Fueling Your Home Audio System
Truly, to experience sound at its best, you need a home audio system that captures and then releases it. Ultimately, every device that you use must work together to achieve that singular goal. Often, this directive begs a couple of questions. For instance, do you need a powerful system for larger rooms? Or, what do you need to consider when buying the right home sound system?
For the first query, it’s not always as much about power as it is about device placement. At Synergy Integrated Systems, we examine the design of each room and determine how audio will best resonate. Additionally, we consider how you wish to experience acoustics in every part of your home. Once we understand your individual needs, we then help you choose each device to fuel your inspiration. Whether you prefer movies, music or both, we customize your system accordingly.
Consequently, we guide you on considerations for the best audio system available. Likewise, we help you make decisions that most appropriately fit your budget. Essentially, the premium home audio system is more about quality than quantity. If even one device isn’t fulfilling its goal to enhance your experience overall, sound suffers. Notably, the sound of suffering audio isn’t pleasant. Whether it’s movies, music or your favorite team in action, each need to heard at its fullest potential.
Superior Sound System Options
Precisely, this is why we offer premium products to experience movies, music and any other source indoors and outdoors. Generally, media servers, audio distribution systems and speakers are the equipment needed. For instance, media servers are a convenient way to store movies, music and digital photos. Audio distribution systems allow you to access multiple sources of audio independently in each zone of your home. Finally, well-placed speakers create surround sound for family rooms, home theaters and even outdoor entertainment.
Keep in mind, we don’t stop at just movies, music and soaring sound. Synergy also offers total home video distribution. Plus, we provide home theater/media room design and installation and home automation services.
