What's Included?
- Router and firewall configuration — set up with proper security rules, not just factory defaults. Guest network separated from business traffic
- Switch installation — managed switches configured for your needs, with VLANs if your setup calls for network segmentation
- Structured cabling — professional Ethernet cable runs through walls and ceilings, terminated to patch panels and wall jacks. Clean, labeled, and documented
- Wireless access points — enterprise-grade WiFi deployed for full coverage with no dead zones. Not consumer routers — proper access points designed for business use
- Network documentation — a diagram showing what's connected where, IP assignments, WiFi passwords, and admin credentials stored securely
Why Does This Matter?
Your network is the foundation everything runs on — computers, phones, cameras, point-of-sale systems, printers, everything. When the network is slow, everything is slow. When the network is down, everything is down.
A properly set up network gives you:
- Speed — wired connections at gigabit speeds, WiFi that doesn't crawl when 10 people are connected
- Reliability — no random disconnections, no "have you tried rebooting the router" every week
- Security — guest WiFi that can't access your business files, firewall rules that block unauthorized traffic, and no default passwords on your equipment
- Scalability — add new devices without starting over. Properly planned networks grow with your business
Think of it this way
Your network is like the plumbing in a building. When it's done right, you don't think about it — water flows where it should, at the right pressure, without leaks. When it's done wrong, you get slow trickles, burst pipes, and flooding. We make sure your network plumbing is done right from the start.
What Affects the Price?
- Number of devices — each router, switch, or access point needs configuration
- Cable runs — longer distances and more drops mean more cable and labor. Running through concrete or fire-rated walls takes extra time
- Complexity — a simple office with one switch is different from a multi-floor building with VLANs, VPNs, and redundant connections
- Hardware — we can recommend and source equipment, or work with hardware you already own
New Build vs. Existing Location
New construction or renovation: This is the easiest and cheapest time to run cable — walls are open, ceilings are accessible. If you're building out a new office or remodeling, get us involved early.
Existing location: We can still run cable cleanly through drop ceilings, wall cavities, and conduit. It takes a bit more time, but the result looks just as professional.
