It can also be one of the most stressful. Planning a move, including getting the house ready for move-in, takes a lot of dedication and effort. Home networks and smart home devices are becoming increasingly important to our everyday home lives. Because of this, you should prioritize your new home&#8217;s technology infrastructure. Here&#8217;s a 9-step tech checklist for making sure your new home is ready for today&#8217;s technology.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Move-In-Blog-Post-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6802\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Move-In-Blog-Post-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Move-In-Blog-Post-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Move-In-Blog-Post-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Move-In-Blog-Post.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>This page contains affiliate links.

id=\"Step_1_Inventory_existing_smart_devices\"><\/span>Step 1: Inventory existing smart devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to inventory the smart home items that are already in your new home. It&#8217;s good to know what technology you&#8217;ll be inheriting because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The home may come with devices you were planning on buying<\/li><li>It may help you plan for device compatibility and interopability with those you already own or plan on buying<\/li><li>So you can decide what you&#8217;ll keep in the new home, and what you will replace.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-3-background-color has-background\">As a side note, make sure to specify which smart devices will stay in the home in the purchase contract if you are buying a new home. It&#8217;s best to be clear so your expectations are met when you move in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also inventory the smart devices you currently own for many of the same reasons. This is a step <a href=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/tech-checklist-for-moving-out-of-a-smart-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I recommend you do when you move out of a home<\/a>. An additional reason is so you can plan where and how these devices fit into your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inventory-existing-technology-infrastructureis-the-ethernet-wiring-in-your-new-home-sufficient\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Check_the_Ethernet_wiring_in_your_new_home\"><\/span>Step 2: Check the Ethernet wiring in your new home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your home is empty is the best time to make many home improvements. Ethernet improvements are no exception. You should make sure you have Ethernet connections in all the locations where you will want wired access. This could include bedrooms, offices, walls with smart TVs, your garage, even near your roof (for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34fDn5q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PoE cameras<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also want to make sure you understand where the Ethernet cables connect to each other so you know where and how you will install your network switches, modem, and router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last thing you shouldn&#8217;t overlook is the quality\/standard of the Ethernet wire. These days I recommend at least Cat 6 for new Ethernet wire installation. If the Ethernet already in your home is anything lower than Cat 5, I&#8217;d strongly consider replacing it or running additional Cat 6 to the same locations. Cat 6 will handle gigabit connections better, especially over long distances. It also can reliably handle 10 Gbps, unlike Cat 5. You may not need 10 Gpbs now, or even gigabit speeds, but while you have the opportunity you might as well plan for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-have-a-plan-for-good-wi-fi-coverage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Have_a_plan_for_good_Wi-Fi_coverage\"><\/span>Step 3: Have a plan for good Wi-Fi coverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong and stable Wi-Fi is critical to family happiness. Before you move in is a great opportunity to plan to have strong and stable Wi-Fi throughout the home. If it is a larger home you should plan for locations where you will put wireless access points, or plan to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/top-picks-for-common-household-tech\/#Mesh_Wi-Fi_Systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mesh system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going with wireless access points, you&#8217;ll need to make sure you have power and Ethernet (or use PoE) running to the locations where you&#8217;ll install them. Many work best on a ceiling or high on a wall. Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/tp-link-eap-610-review-adding-wi-fi-6-to-my-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">access points I use<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wifilanding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free Wi-Fi Tune-Up guide<\/a> for ways to improve and troubleshoot your Wi-Fi.

smart thermostats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart thermostats are common items for smart home veterans and those just getting started. This is because they are much easier to use than regular thermostats, they offer the convenience of remotely controlling your comfort, and they can actually save you time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most smart thermostats require a common wire, often referred to as a c-wire. This wire provides consistent power to the thermostat so that it can function 24\/7 and stay connected to your Wi-Fi. You should check to see if the thermostats in your new home have c-wires, and if not, have them installed.

Home Internet access has become so critical in the United States that some state governments require home sellers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/home\/washington-state-to-require-internet-service-disclosure-when-selling-house-in-new-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disclose their Internet Service Provider (ISP)<\/a> when selling their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take some time to research your ISP options before moving in and select the best one for your needs and budget. It is also good to find out if the ISP you select supplies and\/or requires a particular router for their service to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend trying to get your Internet service set up before you move in. Sometimes it can take a while for ISPs to schedule and install your service.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; \" id=\"homet-1466560604\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9093254913993997\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9093254913993997\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5481537837\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-6-install-network-equipment-before-moving-in\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Install_network_equipment_before_moving_in\"><\/span>Step 6: Install network equipment before moving in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing network equipment before you move in can take some of the stress out of moving in. Having working Wi-Fi and Internet will make installing and configuring devices in your new home easier to do from the start, and will give the convenience you are already used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can easily test whether or not your Wi-Fi plan (Step 3) performs as well as you&#8217;d like and make adjustments if it doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-7-install-smart-devices-before-moving-in\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Install_smart_devices_before_moving_in\"><\/span>Step 7: Install smart devices before moving in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many smart devices, like thermostats, light switches, and smart bulbs, are really part of the infrastructure of your home. Try and install these before you move in and make sure they work. If you have set up your network and Wi-Fi you can fully configure and test these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-contrast-3-background-color has-background\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/hometechhacker-technology-advisor-home\/hth-smart-starter-package-advisor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try the Smart Home Starter Package Technology Advisor<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-8-create-an-outage-plan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_8_Create_an_outage_plan\"><\/span>Step 8: Create an outage plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you thought about what will happen in your new home when the power goes out?
