The cost of a home WiFi solution varies depending on several factors, including:

• The size and layout of your home
• Construction materials (brick, concrete, etc. can affect signal)
• The number of devices that will connect to the network
• Your performance requirements
• Additional features needed (parental controls, guest networks, etc.)

Basic solutions for small homes typically start around $500, while comprehensive mesh networks for larger homes can range from $1,000 to $3,000. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific needs.

A mesh WiFi network uses multiple access points (nodes) that work together to create a single, seamless wireless network throughout your home. Unlike traditional WiFi extenders, mesh systems provide consistent coverage without requiring you to switch between networks as you move around.

You might benefit from a mesh network if:

• Your home is larger than 2,000 square feet
• You have multiple floors
• You experience dead zones with your current setup
• You have thick walls or other architectural features that block WiFi signals
• You need consistent coverage throughout your entire home

During our assessment, we'll determine if a mesh network is the right solution for your specific needs.

For most residential installations, we can complete the work in a single day, typically 2-6 hours depending on the complexity of the setup. Larger homes or installations requiring extensive wiring may take longer or be scheduled over multiple days.

Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home and schedule. After installation, we'll walk you through the new system, ensure all your devices are connected, and answer any questions you may have.

Yes, we offer smart home device setup and integration as part of our residential services. Our technicians can help with:

• Smart speakers and voice assistants (Amazon Echo, Google Home, etc.)

The main differences between these WiFi standards are:

• WiFi 5 (802.11ac): Released in 2014, operates on the 5GHz band with maximum theoretical speeds of 3.5 Gbps. Good for most home and small business applications.
• WiFi 6 (802.11ax): Released in 2019, operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands with maximum theoretical speeds of 9.6 Gbps. Offers better performance in crowded environments, improved battery life for connected devices, and enhanced security with WPA3.
• WiFi 6E: An extension of WiFi 6 that adds support for the 6GHz frequency band. This provides additional channels with less interference, making it ideal for high-density environments and applications requiring low latency.

During our consultation, we'll recommend the appropriate standard based on your specific needs, device compatibility, and budget considerations.

We address WiFi interference through a comprehensive approach:

• Site Survey: We use professional tools to identify existing sources of interference in your environment.
• Spectrum Analysis: We analyze the radio frequency spectrum to identify congested channels and interference sources.
• Strategic Access Point Placement: We position access points to minimize interference from walls, appliances, and other obstacles.
• Channel Management: We configure your network to use the least congested channels.
• Band Steering: We implement technology that directs capable devices to use the less crowded 5GHz or 6GHz bands.
• Power Level Optimization: We adjust transmit power levels to reduce co-channel interference.
• Interference Mitigation: We recommend relocating or shielding devices that cause interference.

Our goal is to create a clean RF environment that allows your WiFi network to perform at its best.

We implement multiple layers of security for all WiFi networks:

• WPA3 Encryption: The latest and most secure WiFi encryption protocol.
• Network Segmentation: Separating guest, IoT, and primary networks to contain potential breaches.
• Enterprise Authentication: For business clients, we implement 802.1X authentication with RADIUS servers.
• Secure Guest Access: Isolated guest networks with captive portals and automatic credential rotation.
• Rogue AP Detection: Monitoring for unauthorized access points on your network.
• Intrusion Prevention: Systems that detect and block suspicious network activity.
• Regular Security Updates: Keeping firmware and software up to date to patch vulnerabilities.
• VPN Integration: Secure remote access to your network resources.

We tailor security measures to your specific needs while maintaining ease of use for legitimate users.

We ensure consistent coverage through a methodical approach:

• Predictive Modeling: Using software tools to create initial coverage maps based on building layouts.
• On-Site Surveys: Conducting physical site surveys to measure actual signal propagation.
• Heat Mapping: Creating detailed heat maps to identify coverage gaps and overlaps.
• Strategic AP Placement: Positioning access points for optimal coverage based on survey data.
• Appropriate Hardware Selection: Choosing the right access points and antennas for your specific environment.
• Power Adjustment: Fine-tuning transmit power to ensure smooth handoffs between access points.
• Post-Installation Validation: Conducting thorough testing after installation to verify coverage.
