Eero vs Apple...who will be victorious?

Let's face it...98% of people have bad WiFi. You may be one of these. Do you have areas of your house where accessing the Internet gets s....l....o....w? What about rooms where Netflix doesn't work and just keeps starting and stopping? If you do, there is a new player in the industry that claims to fix these issues. This company named Eero is advertising a seamless WiFi product that allows for high speeds throughout your entire home. As many of our clients know, we here at Aire Theater Designs believe NOTHING that advertisements portray and that we only bring in products that are tried-and-true and that have undergone thorough testing by our team. We decided to put Eero through these tests after an offer was made to bring on the line. Here's the scoop.

In our line of networking products, Eero would occupy a GOOD position in our GOOD>BETTER>BEST line-up. We decided to compare it to Apple, which currently resides in this space. We then did some head-to-head testing in both a residential and commercial space. Here's how Eero graded out.

It's here...what we've been waiting for since February. FOOTBALL SEASON! It's time to grace your living room accordingly with a giant Sony 4K TV. Fortunately, you're in the right place. We've got some great sales on Sony, Samsung and LG 4K TVs for the season. Want to go all out? Add some speakers, a surround sound receiver and you'll never need to go to the stadium again. NOTE: Some of these deals are close-outs and when the sets are gone, they are gone.TV pricing is presented by the manufacturer and can change at any time.

Fairbanks Ranch Surround Sound Installation - 103 inch plasma television

We love our job and like to point out cool elements of what we do. This particular project utilized a Panasonic 103" plasma TV (along with multiple surround sound systems, a home theater, outdoor audio and video screens, MANY MANY MANY speakers and RTI universal remotes in each room to make things behave). If you aren't familiar with this behemoth, it is the biggest plasma TV ever sold commercially and if you aren't a competitive weightlifter, you aren't budging the thing. It comes in at over 500 pounds! It provides fantastic brightness and contrast for someone that wants a BIG picture but doesn't want the image to get washed out like conventional projection systems tend to do during the day.

If you live in Rancho Santa Fe and would like assistance with any of the below (or you want a 103" TV), feel free to give us a call. We sell all of the below at competitive prices and better yet, we come to you!

100" projection screen with Definitive Technology speakers: Multi-purpose media room in Del Mar 

You know what is very cool? A dedicated home theater. It's a great place for the family to get together to watch movies, sports and to enjoy each others company. Did you know that you don't need to have a specific, dedicated media room to do this? Many of our home theater set-ups look like the above...these are multi-purpose rooms that families utilize all day long for activities other than theater viewing. Here are some of the basics: 

Use Hughesnet with one of our Araknis routers and access points for better WiFi

We have received some frantic calls recently concerning Internet service.  Some of these people bought new homes and found out afterward that the area they moved to didn’t have cable service.  They were only able to get Dish or DirecTV for their TV service and DSL for their internet with a max of 3 Mbps download maximum (in some areas, internet speeds can be even lower).  There was another person who called who said that they literally had NO solution for internet at all.  Rancho Santa Fe...you hear about the beautiful homes and large properties but did you know they have the slowest Internet in San Diego? Additionally, some communities that have older homes also have older outdated lines and cables running through the streets, delivering incredibly slow internet speeds and cable issues.  Fortunately, there now is a solution.

There is a company by the name of HughesNet which provides satellite internet.  That’s right, I said satellite internet……different from satellite TV.  It is the #1 choice for satellite internet and the company has an A+ BBB rating.  HughesNet services homes from coast-to-coast and EVERYWHERE in between.  So if you are in one of the situations I mentioned above, we have you covered! HughesNet just recently came out with their new service, Gen5.  This gives their customers speeds of up to 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.  This is enough speed to handle your streaming needs such as Pandora, Netflix, or Hulu and more than enough to browse the internet and check your emails and what not.  The service plan includes a dual band WiFi router that can get you going on WiFi right away.  Aire Theater Designs can then come in and beef up the WiFi signal so that you are getting maximum coverage across your entire property.  And the best part of all is the low monthly cost.  They have plans with the 25 Mbps download speed that start at a low price of $49.99/month.

So wherever you live, not matter how rural it may be…..YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITHOUT INTERNET.  Give us a call and we can help you get Internet in your home right away.  If you have incredibly slow internet speeds and don’t have a wired option in your home for faster speeds, allow us to help orchestrate a HughesNet install today.  Happy streaming everyone!
