Security

The latest security protocols, such as WPA3, offer enhanced protection compared to previous standards like WPA2.

Look for features like guest network support, MAC address filtering, and encryption options to strengthen your network security.

Management and Configuration
Consider the ease of management and configuration.

Some access points come with dedicated management software or mobile apps that make it easier to set up, monitor and control the network. Assess the user interface and administrative features to ensure they meet your requirements.

Scalability

If you anticipate expanding your network in the future, choose an access point that allows for scalability and can be easily integrated into a larger network infrastructure.

Budget

Determine your budget for the access point.

Prices can vary based on features, brand reputation and performance. Compare different options and choose one that offers a balance between affordability and the features you require.

Vox Wi-Fi offers rental options which reduce upfront capex costs and make it easier to scale up and upgrade equipment as newer technology becomes available.

Handover

Moving around in your home requires your mobile devices to have seamless handover between Wi-Fi access points. Wi-Fi networks in the home that don’t support seamless handover wait for devices to disconnect from one access point and then reconnect to another. This could happen during a Wi-Fi voice call, causing a drop in connection.

With the correctly installed equipment, you could be watching a video stream on a mobile device in your home while moving around. Handover would allow for an uninterrupted video streaming experience.
