Consumer Routers vs Business-Grade
Consumer gear focuses on marketing speed, not stability under load. Business-grade Wi-Fi separates the roles: a router/firewall for internet and security, a controller for management, and access points (APs) placed for coverage. This design scales, performs, and can be monitored effectively.
The Basics of Great Coverage
Effective Wi-Fi begins with proper placement. Walls, fridges, lifts, and even fish tanks block signals. We run a quick site survey to map materials and expected coverage, then position APs so that devices roam cleanly. We also plan channels to avoid interference and set proper transmit power to stop APs from shouting over each other.

Hardware That Makes a Difference
Access Points: Ceiling-mounted APs (e.g., UniFi) spread load and improve roaming.
PoE Switches: Power APs through network cables—no messy injectors.
Controller: Central management for firmware updates, alerts, and guest portals.
Cabling: Cat6/Cat6A with a tidy patch panel keeps everything labelled and reliable.
Security and Guest Networks
Staff devices should be separate from guest or IoT gear. We use VLANs to isolate traffic, apply content filtering on the firewall, and enable simple, branded guest portals. This protects data and keeps the main network fast.
Costs, Timelines, and What to Expect
Most 5–15 person offices move from planning to full install within a day. We can perform after-hours cutovers to avoid downtime, and you’ll receive documentation: network map, VLAN plan, and admin credentials (sealed).
