Are you suffering from slow unreliable WIFI? – are you frustrated at your devices disconnecting, or buffering, slow transfer speeds.
- Wireless access points: Think of it as a WiFi admitter that takes the internet signal from your home’s main router or network source, and the spreads it out as a WiFi signal that your devices can pick up. If you’ve ever noticed how you lose WiFi signal in certain areas of your home; an access point can help extend that coverage, by allowing you to separate the WIFI from the router you can place multiple access points throughout your property helping fill in the gaps and making sure your entire space has strong reliable WiFi.
- Replacement routers: Our routers / gateways can replace the cheap routers often provided by your internet service provider (ISP). Imagine your network router is like a mail sorting office for internet traffic in your home. Just like a sorting office receives mail and sorts it to go to the correct addresses, your router receives data from the internet (WAN or Wide Area Network) or other devices on your network (LAN or Local Area Network) and makes sure it reaches the right device in your home, theses routers often provided by your ISP are often lacking in features and functions, our routers are designed to handle the ever growing connected world with higher throughput and handling capabilities.
- Mesh WiFi systems: These systems create a single, large and seamless WiFi network throughout your home or business, allowing you to walk throughout your property without experiencing any disconnections or buffering as your devices connect from one access point to another.
- Internet Anywhere: When fibre optic or cable broadband isn’t an option, satellite broadband and point-to-point (P2P) solutions provide fast, reliable internet anywhere. Satellite broadband uses a dish to connect to satellites, delivering high-speed and reliable access even in remote areas. P2P solutions create wireless bridges between to locations for fast, low-latency internet in locations with line-of-sight access. These options can ensure seamless connectivity for homes, businesses, or temporary setups – keeping you online wherever you are.
Why is it important to have a good Network and WIFI infrastructure ?
With the nationwide rollout of high-speed fiber optic broadband, access to ultra-fast internet has never been more widespread.
This enhanced connectivity comes at a time when the demand for stable, high-speed internet is rapidly increasing. From streaming HD and 4K content to engaging in online gaming, and with more people working remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure on home networks is growing. Additionally, the number of Wi-Fi-connected devices—such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and a growing range of Internet of Things (IoT) devices like smart speakers, security cameras, and home automation systems—continues to multiply. All of these activities require a robust and capable network to operate smoothly.
Unfortunately, many standard all-in-one routers provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are simply not equipped to handle the modern demands of a connected home. These routers often struggle to deliver consistent performance across multiple devices, leading to slowdowns, interruptions and dropouts, and limited WIFI coverage.
This is especially true in larger homes or older properties with thick walls or multiple floors, where a single router may not provide sufficient signal strength or bandwidth for everyone’s needs.
At UK Home Cinemas, we specialize in creating custom, high-performance home networks using Ubiquiti Unifi Network technology.
We go beyond the limitations of a standard router by taking a more sophisticated, multi-layered approach to your network. Our process includes separating key functions of your wireless router such as routing or acting as the gateway from the wireless access points.
This enables us to strategically place multiple access points throughout your property, ensuring strong and reliable Wi-Fi coverage in every room.
We can also enhance your network by adding more Ethernet ports through a network switch, allowing all of your hardwired devices, like desktop computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and media servers to connect seamlessly. The result is a stable, reliable, and future-proof network that can easily handle the demands of today’s digital lifestyle.
With our expertise, we ensure that your network infrastructure is optimized for the full potential of your new fiber optic broadband. Whether you’re streaming 4K movies, gaming online, working from home, or managing a smart home; UK Home Cinemas delivers a seamless, high-speed experience that allows you to make the most of your super-fast connection without compromise.

Reviews
Richard and his team were faultless. Incredible knowledge to get the very best picture and sound for your budget and above and beyond attitude to account management and installation. Cannot recommend them enough and so glad we appointed them to create our home cinema. Thanks again for all your help!
Excellent and expert service, cannot recommend Richard and his team more. At every step of the way he was kind, courteous, and attentive to our needs and concerns, always going out of his way to reassure us about the process. The finished product looks and sounds amazing, and they even got it done ahead of schedule. The knowledge and experience of the team was clear as soon as they arrived to begin the work, and we couldn't be happier with the end result.
We recently built a loft conversion to accommodate a cinema room for a client in Crawley.
The client instructed us to find a company that had the skill and knowledge to bring the cinema to life, Richard and his associate Ben at UK Home Cinemas did an excellent job. Myself, and more importantly my client are extremely happy with how the cinema room has come together. Richard and Ben are extremely knowledgeable and we would definitely work with UK home cinemas again.
Richard and his excellent team created an absolutely amazing cinema room for us, beyond our expectations and within our budget. They were polite, tidy and worked diligently. Can't recommend them highly enough. If you're considering making a cinema room, this company is the best, so professional and a pleasure to deal with. We've had our cinema room for a couple of years now, and we absolutely love it, as do friends and family.
Richard’s expertise and consultative approach, makes him a real pleasure to work with. The project turned our double garage into a home cinema room run via Control 4. The garage itself posed a number of constraints (location of the consumer unit, water cylinder, heating controls, etc), which Richard worked through to provide us with a number of options. Their approach encompassed collaboratively working with the building contractor, carpet provider, and cinema seating provider. UK Home Cinemas fitted us the perfect home cinema, and the end result exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend them Richard and the team highly enough.
