Top 5 Tips to Get the Most from Your Data Setup at Home or Work
(And How a Perth Electrician Can Help You Stay Connected)
In today’s digital world, your data and communication setup is just as important as lighting or power. Whether you’re working from home in South Perth, running a small business in Applecross, or upgrading a family home in Melville, a reliable data system can make all the difference to your productivity, speed, and sanity.
Here are five smart tips to help you get the best performance from your internet and communications setup—and how Banyard Electrical can help make it all happen.
1. Choose the Right Data Points for Your Needs
It’s not just about having Wi-Fi anymore. For optimal performance—especially when streaming, working remotely, or using multiple smart devices—you’ll benefit from hardwired data points throughout your home or office.
Strategically placed Ethernet (Cat 6/6a) points in key rooms (home offices, living rooms, meeting spaces) will give you faster, more stable internet with fewer dropouts.
Banyard Electrical can help plan and install NBN-ready data points exactly where you need them.
2. Think Ahead – Futureproof Your Setup
Technology moves fast. If you’re renovating or building, now is the time to install future-ready cabling that supports smart home devices, high-speed networking and expanding data needs.
Structured cabling allows you to easily adapt down the track—whether you’re adding security cameras, home automation, or an extra office.
We offer smart, scalable data installation services across Mount Pleasant, Attadale, Booragoon and surrounds.
3. Keep Wi-Fi Strong with Smart Planning
Dead zones, buffering and lag are common when Wi-Fi routers are poorly placed or overloaded. A professional can help you create a network layout that optimises both wired and wireless coverage.
For businesses, consider data switches, wall-mounted outlets, and centralised comms cabinets to keep things neat and efficient.
We’ll work with your internet provider to ensure you get the most from your plan—with no tangled mess or frustration.
4. Don’t Overload Your Power & Data Outlets
It’s common to see power boards and routers tangled together in the corner of a room, but that’s not ideal—or safe. Instead, plan for a dedicated space with the right number of data and power outlets to support your setup.
We install combo data + power points and can separate circuits to reduce load, especially in homes running multiple workstations or entertainment systems.
5. Hire a Licensed Electrician – Not Just a Tech
Some NBN technicians can plug in your modem—but they can’t legally install new data cabling, power points or wall ports. That’s where a licensed Perth electrician with data experience comes in.
We handle everything from the wall back—data cabling, power wiring, safety compliance and more—so your system runs properly and safely.
