Wireless Networking

Wireless networking can be a wonderful additional to your home or office network. Or it can be a disaster from a security standpoint. Without proper setup and installation, your wireless connection could allow undesired use of your network or worse, your computers and data could be at risk.

We help you from the selection of your wireless equipment, to installation and configuration of your wireless network so that you know that undesirables will not be attacking your network.

Being honest, we do have a preference for wired networks and recommend wireless only where wired is impractical. Wired networks can not be compromised as easily as wireless networks. Most of the wireless network routers in production as little as 1 year ago can be compromised in about 30 seconds. The latest equipment for security is essential as well as selecting hardware that is upgradeable so that when the hackers get better, the equipment gets even better.

Another issue with wireless (especially in homes) is router location and wall construction. In very old homes with plaster and lathe construction, generally a single router will not be adequate to supply signal around the home. Multiple repeats may be needed in this situation or homes that are larger in size.

Wireless Hotspot (or WiFi)

An area of interest for many businesses with clients onsite is to offer wireless hotspot technology. This allows your customers to use their laptops in your facility to access the Internet. We can provide technology that let you do this safely in your office. Suggested uses for this are locations like restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, dental offices, service stations or any location where people may spend an extended period of time.
