The next thing you need to purchase, install, and configure are the routers, hubs, and switches. Here, you need to invest in quality hardware components to ensure good services. If you compromise with the quality here, you will get slow speeds and a hindered internet performance.

Depending on the number of computers or nodes you want to connect, you should purchase the routers and switches. Switches are less expensive than routers, but routers have a lot of features incorporated into them. You can buy enterprise-grade routers and switches from electronic stores for robust connectivity. Other than that, you can also buy it through different e-commerce sites. They cost around Rs. 26,500.

Wireless backhauls for spreading your wireless signals

If you want to spread the internet service to multiple other nodes through a wireless medium, you need to purchase wireless backhauls. They help you connect to the relay points. If you plan a wireless internet-providing system, backhauls will help broadcast the data signals from one premise of your network to the other. A typical backhaul will cost Rs. 59,999 or more.

Installing wireless backhaul is the same as installing switches and routers. You can fit these backhauls on towers, at the top of buildings, and other areas at a higher altitude. Keeping these devices at a higher elevation will improve the network's quality.

Mounting antennas at relay points

A relay point is a node in the network through which an ISP will send the information. Often, the signal fades when it traverses a long distance. Mounting an antenna or repeater to amplify the signal is a good solution to overcome this problem.

When you need to connect many computers using one internet service, repeaters become the most beneficial. Each of these antennas and repeater will cost around Rs.3,300.

Run CAT5e cables

Connect your router and switches through ethernet CAT5e cables. CAT5e type cables help combat electromagnetic interference (EMI). Using CAT5e will also guarantee that your ISP will stay up and running for a longer time. The average cost of a 1,000-feet CAT5e cable is around Rs. 24,000.

Conclusion

To enjoy smooth internet services, you should have the right knowledge of network structures. Also, one must be aware of the capacity of routers, hubs, switches, and other devices associated with the network. If you wish to connect your computer via a wired medium, you need more cables and routers. Otherwise, you can go wireless with antennas, wireless backhauls, etc.
