Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about business network services
How much does a professional network installation cost?
Network installation costs vary based on several factors including the size of your space, number of users, complexity of requirements, and hardware needed. I provide detailed quotes after an initial assessment of your needs. Most small business networks range from $2,000-$5,000 for a complete solution, while more complex environments may require larger investments. I focus on providing solutions that balance performance, reliability, and budget considerations.
How long does a typical network installation take?
The timeline for network installation depends on the project scope. A small office network can often be completed in 1-2 days, while larger or more complex installations may take several days to a week. I work to minimize disruption to your business operations, often performing major changes during off-hours or weekends when possible.
Do you provide the network equipment or should we purchase it?
I can handle equipment procurement as part of the project, ensuring you get business-grade hardware appropriate for your needs without markup. With 25+ years of experience, I know which equipment delivers reliable performance and value. If you prefer to purchase equipment yourself, I can provide detailed specifications and recommendations. Either way, I ensure all equipment is properly configured and integrated into your network.
How do I know if my current network needs to be upgraded?
Common signs that your network needs attention include: slow file transfers or internet speeds, frequent disconnections, Wi-Fi dead zones, security concerns, difficulty adding new devices, or if your equipment is more than 5-7 years old. I offer network assessments that can identify specific issues and provide recommendations.
Do you provide documentation of the network after installation?
Yes, comprehensive documentation is a standard part of my network services. This includes network diagrams, IP address assignments, configuration details, equipment information, and login credentials stored securely. This documentation is invaluable for future maintenance, troubleshooting, and planning.
Can you work with our existing network equipment?
In many cases, I can incorporate existing equipment that's still functional and appropriate for your needs. During the assessment phase, I'll evaluate your current equipment and recommend what can be reused and what should be upgraded, helping you maximize your existing investment while improving performance and security.
