As wireless network connections become increasingly essential for our homes, supporting entertainment devices, computers, sensors, and smart home equipment, it is crucial to ensure their reliability. Many rural residents rely on wireless network connections for their cell phone service.
While your internet provider may provide a wireless modem, these devices often exhibit weak performance or inadequate management and placement.
To address these challenges, we can construct a robust wireless network within your home, providing comprehensive coverage throughout the interior and potentially extending to the exterior.
In addition to initial network setup, we offer ongoing maintenance services. Most home users lack networking expertise and neglect to update their devices, leading to potential security vulnerabilities and performance degradation. We ensure that your wireless network remains stable and up-to-date by applying the most recent firmware. Furthermore, we monitor the radio frequencies utilized by your access points, optimizing them based on your specific wireless environment and neighboring networks. Notably, we do not monitor your actual traffic data.
Our residential service area typically spans approximately 50 miles from Stewartstown, Pennsylvania (17363). This encompasses the York, Lancaster, Adams, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties in Pennsylvania, as well as the Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, Cecil, Anne Arundel, Howard, and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland. For large estates, we are willing to travel as necessary. We have extensive experience working with large estates featuring multiple buildings spanning hundreds of acres.
To commence the process, we initiate a comprehensive review of your house plans. Ideally, you should have electronic copies of the floor plans. If not, we can sketch out the necessary layout during our site visit. Subsequently, we will conduct interviews to gain insights into your specific requirements. Finally, we will conduct a site walkthrough to determine the optimal locations and construct an estimate for the system.
Options:
- Dedicated outdoor coverage
- Links to outbuildings
- Video cameras
- Open network rack versus enclosed cabinet
Costs:
We charge for each project based on the complexity and size of the property. For most residential WiFi designs created using a predictive model, the cost ranges from $400 to $800, excluding equipment and installation. While we typically do not perform residential installations, we can collaborate with your contractors to ensure that the work is completed correctly. Subsequently, we can handle the configuration and adjustments.
For ongoing maintenance, we recommend the quarterly package. This option involves accessing your controller once a quarter to update any firmware that has undergone testing and is required. We will verify settings and ensure that the network is functioning optimally. The cost for this service typically falls within the $150 to $200 range per quarter, depending on the number of devices.
For large estates, monthly service may be a more suitable option, particularly if there is a propensity to host large gatherings where wireless connectivity is frequently utilized. We can also be placed “on-call” to provide support for such events if necessary. Additionally, for certain larger events, we can temporarily deploy additional wireless access points in the yard, barns, or other designated areas (e.g., weddings, parties).
