Prewiring for New Builds
If you’re in the process of building or remodeling your new smart home, you may want to consider pre-wiring for ethernet to simplify the automation and installation process. Having adequate ethernet wiring in place for all of your A/V components, TVs, surveillance cameras and wireless access points is crucial for proper connectivity and reliability.

Upgrade Your WiFi Experience
Do you experience WiFi “dead zones” in your home or anywhere around your property? Many of the local internet service providers (ISP’s) will lease you a Panoramic WiFi system along with your, monthly service subscription. However, these modem/router combos have limited ability to reserve IP addresses and make any necessary network changes. Additionally, it’s common for the ISP to install these units in your metal wiring panel, dramatically reducing their signal.
We install professional-grade networks and the all-new WiFi6 access points so you get the fastest connection possible with your wireless and wired devices. Enjoy lighting fast video streaming and gaming on any device in your home. Take your TV viewing and music streaming to the next level with an enterprise gigabit network.

What Our Customers Say
★★★★★
Great work for installing my new flat screen TV and speakers. Before I found this company, I did look for other companies that offer this kind of services. Unfortunately, most of them are quite pricey. But with Modern TV & Audio, I was able to avail an affordable service from them that exceeded my expectations. Thanks!

I reached out to a couple companies in town for estimates for our backyard audio situation. Modern TV & Audio were the most responsive and were at our house ASAP for an estimate. They fit us in their schedule right away and delivered above and beyond. They are very transparent and flexible, no hard sells and super honest. They will definitely be doing any work we need in the future and will recommend them to everyone.

Modern TV and Audio did the absolute best installation I have ever had done. And I have had many installations over the years. Tessa is very helpful setting things up and the installers did a great job. I appreciate having my old TV being donated to a worthy cause also. Thumbs up all around!

Common Network Upgrades

Modem & Router
Upgrading your modem and router will dramatically increase the performance of your home network. These devices are often provided by your ISP, however run into limitations fairly quickly when we start adding a lot of smart home devices.

Wireless Access Points
WiFi has become more important than ever in our daily lives. If you’re living with “dead zones” in your home, it’s time to call the experts at Modern and upgrade your system. Typically, just a few access points around your home will solve any issues.

PoE Switch
Many new smart home devices are powered by PoE (Power Over Ethernet). This includes cameras, small network switches, in-wall touch screens and voice control modules. If you’re planning on adding these types of devices, a PoE switch is the perfect solution.
A Connected Home
People tend to spend more time at home than any other location. We expect our homes to be our “safe place” where we can truly enjoy our quality of life in addition to the many creature comforts we’ve learned to love over the years. Wifi and reliable internet service are the backbone our smart homes depend on to operate smoothly. With a home automation system, we can easily integrate devices in nearly every room of the house, from the kitchen to the garage. This is why a fast and reliable network with adequate coverage and bandwidth is necessary to bring true value to these devices.
This added functionality and communication between devices adds a level of convenience and satisfaction as a smart home-owner. The ability for devices to effectively communicate with each other over WiFi or wired network connections is what allows Control4 to be so effective in your home. Every Control4 home also comes with OVRC – a specialized application that monitors your home’s devices and network for updates, health issues and systematic problems that may arise. Many times, we are aware of network or device problems before the homeowner is even aware of them. In addition to monitoring, most problems can be fixed remotely eliminating the need for an in-person appointment or service call.
Structured Wiring Solutions
In today’s modern smart homes, communications wiring is the preferred method of connecting all IP controlled devices. Structured wiring is best described as dedicated ethernet and communication lines throughout the home that all end in a dedicated equipment location. These wires are used for surveillance cameras, access points, video doorbells, in-wall touchscreens, wired lighting keypads, voice control modules, TVs, audio equipment, computers and just about everything between.
When wiring your smart home, it’s also important to consider which room(s) you would like to have distributed audio or video systems with corresponding speaker wire and HDMI, Coax and Ethernet connections. In a proper smart home, all of these different wires all end at a centralized location, making connections and changes a breeze. Enjoy the most consistent and reliable communication between your home’s devices. We use premium wiring to ensure that your home network will operate smoothly for many years to come.
