Historic Charlotte Remodel: Modern Connectivity and Preserved Character
The Challenge
This late-1800s Charlotte home is full of character — thick plaster walls, dense original construction, and architectural details you can't find in new builds. But that same construction was never meant to carry a WiFi signal. Dead zones, dropped calls, and buffering streams were the daily reality for the family living there.
Our client needed the home to work for modern life: a student who needs to be online for class, work-from-home professionals who can't afford a dropped video call, and gamers who need low latency and zero interruptions. Every one of those needs comes down to one thing — reliable internet, everywhere in the house.
The Goals
- Fast, whole-property WiFi coverage — no dead zones, no exceptions
- Reliable cell phone service throughout the home
- A modern streaming TV setup to replace outdated cable
Our Approach
Sound Advice, LLC is a licensed electrician trusted to bring 21st-century connectivity into century-old walls. To beat the signal-blocking construction, we engineered a redundant, high-performance network built around:
- AT&T Fiber Internet as the primary connection, delivering the speed and bandwidth modern households demand
- Starlink as a seamless backup, so a fiber outage never means a dead network
- UniFi UDM-SE (Dream Machine Special Edition) with dual-WAN failover, intelligently managing both connections and keeping the whole system running without interruption
The result: fast WiFi in every room, dependable cell signal, and smooth streaming — all without compromising the historic integrity of the home.
