How Smart Home Devices Affect Your Network
Myth: Smart home devices do not significantly impact internet performance.
Truth: WA residents are embracing smart home devices like never before, but these handy gadgets significantly impact your Wi-Fi network.

Managing smart devices by creating dedicated Wi-Fi networks or choosing low-bandwidth protocols like Zigbee helps ensure your main network stays as clear as a sunny WA day.
Historical Fact: In 1999, the Australian-based company Clipsal introduced C-Bus, one of Australia's earliest smart home automation systems.
