Wiring a Network for Mesa's Older and Newer Homes

Founded before the rest of the East Valley and now its biggest city, Mesa carries a history that directly informs how we lay out a network here. A ranch home built in the 1950s near downtown Mesa is usually block wall construction, and cable does not travel through block the way it does through a stud wall. Getting ethernet from a rack to a bedroom in one of these houses means fishing through the attic and dropping down inside a wall cavity, or running along a baseboard where dropping through the wall is not an option. A two-story stucco-and-frame build out past Signal Butte is a different job, more interior wall to work with, but two floors and a longer run from where the internet enters the house to where the gear needs to sit. Home network installation in Mesa also has to account for lot size. A quarter-acre lot near the Fiesta District needs a different wireless layout than a half-acre parcel further east, where one access point at the front of the house will not reach a shop, a pool area, or a casita out back. We look at the walls, the roofline, and the lot before we decide where anything gets mounted or run.

The Gear We Install and Why It Fits Your Property

For most Mesa homes, we install and support Ubiquiti’s UniFi line. It holds up better than the gear a lot of competitors use, it has WiFi self-optimization built in that cuts down on setup error, and it costs less than comparable equipment without giving up performance. Smaller homes and condos usually run well on a UniFi Dream Router, an all-in-one WiFi 6 unit. Larger properties, especially the bigger builds on the east side of Mesa, get a rack-mounted UniFi Dream Machine Pro with 10 Gbps ports so we can stack additional switches and cover more square footage without a drop in speed. When an older Mesa home cannot take additional wiring, either the walls will not allow it or a full retrofit does not make sense, we switch to Eero mesh instead of forcing a hardwired plan that will not work. Outdoor coverage, common on covered patios on Mesa’s larger lots, uses humidity-rated ceiling access points so WiFi carries from inside the house to the yard without a hard cutover.

During the course of our new build, we got a few AV quotes, but when I visited the showroom and spoke to Greg I was sold. During the build process I was there daily watching subs and their work, AMP AV was always on time, extremely meticulous in the routing of cables and placement of equipment, and always clean. At the end of the install, everything was as planned and looks amazing. Never being a home audio guy, it sold me after this experience with Greg and Ryan. Also being a little tech challenged, they came back out to dial me and my wife in on how to use everything to it's potential. Definitely recommend, and this is not a paid review. 5 stars!

Highly recommended. They installed a home theater surround sound system and also fixed some faulty wiring for our patio speakers. Excellent work quality, great communication, and showed up on time for each planned visit.

Greg and his team are pros; they were very comprehensive in the consultation process, provided detailed quotes, and showed value. Once on-site the crew was knowledgeable, respectful, and eager to customize to meet our needs. I’d recommend any day of the week.

Greg and his team were great to work with! Greg came out for the initial assessment and answered all of my questions. When his techs Ryan and Easton showed up they were prompt, courteous, and did a wonderful job installing my network drops and cameras. Highly recommend working with the Amp AV team!

We absolutely recommend Greg/Amp AV. This company came out (hired mid to late 2019) and fixed a huge mess from our previous home automation guys. Our system was left complicated. Greg is honest, patient, and extremely willing to help. Amp AV gave us options and were willing to work around with the equipment we already had. Not only are they friendly and professional, the response time is quick and scheduling is made in a timely manner. We will continue to use this company and I would highly recommend for your home automation/tech needs. Prices are fair, I did compare to a few different companies.

Mesa Questions

Yes. Block wall construction is common in older parts of Mesa, and we don't have the option of pulling cable to a rough-in like we would in new construction. In these cases we run cable through the attic space and feed it down between studs close to the block wall, or route it along a baseboard when there's no way to drop a line through the wall itself. It takes longer than a prewired home, but every room can still get a hardwired connection.

Probably not. A single access point that covers a compact lot near downtown Mesa won't reach a shop, casita, or pool area on a half-acre lot further east. We plan larger Mesa properties with multiple UniFi access points, including humidity-rated outdoor units, so coverage stays consistent from the house to the yard instead of dropping off past the back door.

Mesa is where our shop is based, so it's the city we work in most and the one we can reach quickest when something needs a second visit or a fast fix. That local footprint also means our crew has handled a wide range of Mesa homes, from older ranch houses near downtown to new builds out past Signal Butte, so we already know what each type of house needs.

Yes. Newer frame-and-stucco two-story builds out past Signal Butte are usually easier to wire than older single-story homes with block walls, since cable can run through open framing before drywall goes up, or through interior wall cavities afterward. Getting ethernet between floors just means planning a path through a closet or wall stack rather than fishing through solid block, so we can typically wire more of the home.

It can, since each addition to an older Mesa home was often built with different materials and access points than the original structure. We treat every section separately: the original part of the house may need fishing through existing walls or attic space, while a newer addition might have more open framing to work with. We plan the cable path room by room rather than assuming one method covers the whole house.
