Networks and WiFi that actually reach
Winchester has a lot of old houses with thick walls, and a lot of people paying for fast broadband they can only get in one room. Most of the time the answer isn't a faster line — it's putting the signal where you need it, or running a cable.
Faults we see most
- Dead spots upstairs, in the kitchen or at the end of the garden
- Video calls dropping while everyone else is streaming
- Fast broadband that doesn't feel fast
- Moved office and nothing is plugged in yet
- Printer, NAS or cameras that keep disappearing
- Guest WiFi and a business network on the same box
Survey first
We measure signal room by room before recommending hardware. Buying a mesh system for a problem that's actually interference from a neighbour's channel is an expensive way to change nothing.
Wired where it's worth it
One cable to the right spot beats three extenders. We run Cat6 discreetly, terminate it properly and test each run — usually far cheaper than people expect.
Small business setups
Router and firewall configuration, separate guest and staff networks, static addressing for the kit that needs it, and a printer that stays online. Documented so the next person to touch it knows what's what.
Working from home
Prioritising the call over the streaming, getting the desk on a wired connection, and making the whole thing survive a power cut without a phone call to us.
Questions about network installation
Do you supply the hardware?
We can, or you can buy it yourself — we'll spec exactly what to get. No markup games either way, and we'll tell you when the cheaper option is genuinely fine.
How much is a call-out?
£60 covers the visit and the first hour in Winchester and the immediate area. We quote the rest before starting, not after.
Broken, slow, or won't turn on?
