The Ideal Network Setup for a Smart Home in 2025

Smart homes are becoming the norm, and having a strong, secure network is essential. Here’s what your smart home network should include in 2025.

1. **Central Hub Router** 
Start with a powerful router as your central hub. Choose one with dual or tri-band support and advanced QoS features.

2. **Mesh Network Nodes** 
Extend coverage with mesh nodes in each room to eliminate dead zones and ensure every smart device stays connected.

3. **VLAN Configuration** 
Separate your smart devices from your personal devices with VLANs. This improves security and ensures better bandwidth management.

4. **Firewall and Intrusion Detection** 
Protect your home network with advanced firewall settings and intrusion detection software.

5. **Battery Backup and Surge Protection** 
Keep your network online during power outages with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
