Common network problems
Slow, Dropping Wi-Fi Is Usually a Design Problem
When the Wi-Fi drops every afternoon or the printer disappears again, it’s tempting to blame the internet provider. More often it’s access-point placement, an overloaded switch, a cabling fault or a network that was never designed for the number of devices it now carries.
We find the actual cause, fix it, and document it so it stays fixed.
Wi-Fi dead zones
Calls drop and laptops lose connection walking between rooms because access points are in the wrong places.
A consumer router running the office
Home equipment struggles with dozens of devices, guest access and visibility into problems.
Everything on one network
Guests, staff, phones, cameras and servers share one network with nothing separating them.
Mystery cables and switches
Unlabelled ports, loops and old unmanaged switches make every fault slow to track down.
Network services
Wired and Wireless, Designed as One System
From the internet connection to the last access point, we design, install and support the whole office network.
Network & Wi-Fi assessment
Coverage, cabling, switch health, port errors and bandwidth reviewed, with a clear fix list.
Managed switch installation
Switch selection, rack installation, uplinks, PoE, port configuration and firmware.
Business Wi-Fi & access points
Access-point placement, secure staff and guest networks, roaming and capacity for every device.
VLANs & segmentation
Separate staff, guest, server, voice, camera and IoT traffic so one problem can't spread.
Structured cabling
Cat6 and fibre runs, patch panels, racks and labelling, installed by our own team.
PoE for phones & cameras
Reliable Power over Ethernet for access points, VoIP phones, cameras and door systems.
New office & moves
Network, Wi-Fi and cabling planned before move-in so your team is working on day one.
Firewall & internet edge
Business firewall, secure remote access and backup internet at the edge of your network.
Monitoring & maintenance
Device health, firmware, capacity and configuration changes managed after go-live.
Network segmentation
Separate Traffic Without Separating Your Business
Canada’s Cyber Centre lists “segment and separate information” among its top IT security actions. In practice that means VLANs: guests can’t see your server, a compromised camera can’t reach your accounting PC, and phones get the priority they need for clear calls.
Sources: Cyber Centre: Top 10 IT security actions.
Staff network
Computers and printers with access to business systems.
Server network
Business applications and file storage, tightly controlled.
Voice network
Phones prioritized for clear, uninterrupted calls.
Cameras & IoT
Isolated so they can't reach business data.
Guest Wi-Fi
Internet only, nothing else.
Management
Switches and access points reachable by admins only.
Platforms we install
UniFi, Cisco Meraki, Aruba or Ruckus?
We work with all of them, so the recommendation fits your office, budget and how much you want managed in the cloud.
| Ubiquiti UniFi | Cisco / Meraki | Aruba / Ruckus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good fit | Small and mid-sized offices wanting strong value | Multi-site businesses wanting simple cloud management | Busy, high-density spaces and demanding Wi-Fi |
| Managed from | UniFi controller | Meraki cloud dashboard or Cisco tools | Vendor cloud or on-site controller |
| Keep in mind | Fewer advanced enterprise features | Meraki relies on ongoing licences | Typically a higher upfront cost |
How we work
From Site Walk to a Documented Network
Every project ends with a network you can understand, not a closet of unlabelled cables.
Step 1
Assess
Walk the site, test coverage and review switches, cabling and devices.
Step 2
Design
Access-point plan, switching, VLANs, cabling and a written quote.
Step 3
Install
Cabling, racks, switches and access points installed by our team.
Step 4
Test
Coverage, roaming, speeds and every VLAN checked.
Step 5
Document
Port maps, diagrams and passwords handed over.
Step 6
Support
Monitoring, firmware and changes as you grow.
Cost
How Much Does a Business Network Cost?
It depends on the size of your space, how many people and devices connect, and how much cabling is needed. After a free assessment you get a written quote with equipment, cabling and labour listed separately.
What sets the price
- Office size, layout and walls
- Number of users and devices
- Access points and switches needed
- New cabling runs and racks
- Brand and licensing choice
- Ongoing monitoring, if you want it
Frequently asked questions
Business Network & Wi-Fi FAQs
Straight answers about Wi-Fi, switches, VLANs and cabling.
Why does our office Wi-Fi keep dropping?
Usually access-point placement, too many devices on too few access points, interference, or a switch or cabling fault. A site assessment finds the actual cause.
Do we need a managed switch?
If you have more than a handful of devices, phones, cameras or a server, yes. Managed switches let us create VLANs, power devices over PoE and see where problems are.
What is a VLAN?
A virtual network that separates traffic on the same physical equipment, so guests, cameras, phones and staff computers can’t reach each other unless they should.
Do you do the network cabling yourselves?
Yes. Structured cabling, Cat6 and fibre, racks and labelling are done by our own team, not subcontracted.
Which Wi-Fi brands do you install?
Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, Aruba and Ruckus. We recommend based on your space, budget and how you want it managed.
How many access points do we need?
It depends on your layout, walls and how many devices connect at once. We plan placement from a site walk rather than guessing.
Can you set up separate guest Wi-Fi?
Yes. Guest Wi-Fi gets internet access only and is kept separate from your business network.
Can you help us set up a new office?
Yes. We plan cabling, racks, switching, Wi-Fi and the firewall before move-in, so everything works on day one. See our office IT setup and moves page.
Do you work with our existing equipment?
Often, yes. We assess what’s there and only recommend replacing equipment that’s failing, unsupported or too small for the job.
