If You Plan on Installing a Ton of Smarthome Devices, Skip Wi-Fi. In the old days, we had a router installed in the house, and connected all our computers to it.

But, having 2 to 6 people in the house using the WiFi is not a problem. But, these days, we all have Smartwatches, SmartPhones, light outlets, refrigerators, SmartSpeakers, TV dongles, Roku, Fire TV, and a host of other devices connecting to WiFi every day. It doesn't take much imagination to see a problem. When you decide to spring for that fabulous new Smarthome product, ask yourself if you really need it.
