Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about networking services

How can I improve my Wi-Fi coverage at home?

Improving Wi-Fi coverage often involves strategic placement of your router, adding mesh network components or range extenders, upgrading to newer Wi-Fi standards (like Wi-Fi 6), and addressing interference sources. I can assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective solution for your home layout.

How do I know if my network is secure?

A secure network should use strong encryption (WPA3 when possible), have a complex password, utilize a firewall, keep firmware updated, and implement guest network isolation. I offer network security assessments to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen your defenses.

Why is my internet speed slower than what I'm paying for?

Many factors can affect internet speed, including outdated equipment, network congestion, Wi-Fi interference, improper router placement, or issues with your ISP. I can run diagnostics to determine the cause and implement solutions to help you achieve the speeds you're paying for.

How much does a professional network installation cost?

Network installation costs vary based on the size of your space, complexity of requirements, and hardware needed. I provide free consultations and detailed quotes before any work begins, ensuring you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.
