Networking and Connectivity

In Portland's tech-forward culture, reliable home networking isn't optional – it's essential. With more Oregonians working from home and families averaging 15+ connected devices, professional network design ensures everyone stays connected without frustration.

Our networking solutions begin with comprehensive site surveys using professional spectrum analyzers to identify interference sources and optimal access point placement. Portland's dense neighborhoods often suffer from WiFi congestion, which we address through careful channel selection and enterprise-grade equipment that outperforms consumer routers.

Mesh network systems provide seamless coverage throughout your home, eliminating dead zones common in Portland's multi-story homes. Our UniFi and Eero Pro installations automatically route devices to the strongest signal, ensuring smooth video calls from your home office and buffer-free streaming in every room.

Network security is paramount in today's connected world. Our installations include enterprise-grade firewalls, segregated networks for IoT devices, and regular security updates. We create guest networks that protect your primary devices while providing convenient access for visitors. Portland businesses operating from home appreciate our VLAN configurations that separate work and personal traffic.

Structured cabling provides the backbone for reliable connectivity. We install CAT6 or fiber optic cabling to support gigabit speeds throughout your home. Hardwired connections to stationary devices like smart TVs and desktop computers ensure maximum performance while reducing WiFi congestion for mobile devices.

Network installation begins with detailed planning using floor plans and heat mapping software. We identify optimal access point locations, plan cable routes, and specify equipment based on your coverage needs and device count.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days for most Portland homes. We run ethernet cables through walls and attics, mount access points discretely, and configure all network settings. Post-installation testing ensures every area receives strong, reliable signal.
