Your office network is infrastructure, not an afterthought

Most small businesses start with a consumer router and a tangle of cables behind a desk. It works until you hire employee number twelve, add a second access point from Costco, and wonder why Zoom drops every time someone microwaves lunch.

Business network problems show up as:

  • Wi-Fi dead zones in conference rooms and back offices
  • Desktops that can't hold a stable connection to the server or cloud apps
  • Patch panels nobody labeled — so every outage becomes guesswork
  • New desks added without a plan for ethernet or PoE for phones and cameras

We install and fix business-grade office networks — structured cabling, Wi-Fi that covers your actual floor plan, and on-site support when remote isn't enough.

What we install and repair

Office Wi-Fi design and installation

Consumer mesh kits aren't built for fifteen laptops, three VoIP phones, a POS terminal, and a warehouse scanner on the same SSID.

We deploy business access points (Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, or Aruba depending on budget and complexity), map coverage to eliminate dead zones, and separate staff Wi-Fi from guest traffic. Where walls are thick or floors are multi-level — common in older Seattle and Bellevue buildings — we use wired backhaul instead of hoping mesh repeaters keep up.

Typical scope: site survey, AP placement, VLAN/SSID design, controller setup, and handoff documentation.

Ethernet and structured cabling (Cat6 / low-voltage)

When Wi-Fi isn't enough — or when desktops, printers, and POS need reliable wire — we run Cat6 homeruns from workstations and device locations back to your patch panel or network closet.

  • New office buildouts and desk adds
  • Replacing damaged or undocumented cable runs
  • Patch panel termination, labeling, and testing
  • Coordination with electricians on low-voltage paths (we pull and terminate; we don't do high-voltage)

Why businesses search for this: "data cabling," "low voltage contractor," and "cat6 installation" are how facilities managers and office managers describe the work — not "run ethernet in my office." We speak both languages.

Business computer repair (on-site)

When a machine holds up the team, we diagnose on-site or at your office — VPN profiles, domain join, line-of-business apps intact. Loaner devices available for Bellevue and Eastside clients when repair takes longer than a few hours.

This is business computer repair, not a strip-mall shop that wipes drives and reinstalls Windows without understanding your environment.

Network support and troubleshooting

Slow network, intermittent drops, switch lights you don't understand — we troubleshoot the full stack: ISP handoff, firewall, switches, Wi-Fi, and physical layer. Same team that handles after-hours emergencies; same 90-second pickup when it's urgent.

Who this is for

Seattle and Eastside businesses with 5–75 employees who:

  • Outgrew the router-from-Best-Buy phase
  • Are moving offices or adding a floor
  • Need reliable Wi-Fi for hybrid meetings and cloud apps
  • Want one vendor for cabling, Wi-Fi, and break-fix — not three separate contractors

We are not residential ISP support. If you're checking whether Comcast is down in your neighborhood, that's not us. If your office network is down and you need someone who picks up tonight, that's us.

How a typical project works

1. Discovery call — square footage, device count, existing gear, pain points (dead zones, slow file shares, new desks). 2. Site visit (when needed) — walk the space, identify cable paths, closet location, ISP demarc. 3. Proposal — flat scope for cabling/Wi-Fi install, or time-and-materials for troubleshooting. 4. Install — often scheduled outside peak hours; emergency work same-night when you're blocked. 5. Documentation — labeled ports, SSID map, admin credentials in your handoff packet.

Most cabling and Wi-Fi projects are scheduled; network emergencies use our after-hours line.

What it costs (ballpark)

| Service | Typical range | |---|---| | Wi-Fi survey + 2–3 AP install | $1,500 – $4,000 | | Single Cat6 drop (homerun) | $175 – $350 per run | | Small office cabling (6–12 drops) | $2,500 – $8,000 | | Business computer repair (on-site) | $150 – $350 + parts | | Network troubleshooting (emergency) | First call free; project quoted after triage |

Exact pricing depends on ceiling type, distance to the closet, and whether we can reuse existing infrastructure. We quote before we pull cable.

Seattle & Eastside coverage

We serve the same 40-mile radius as our after-hours IT practice — Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish, Bothell, Woodinville, Renton, Kent, Tacoma, Everett, and surrounding areas.

Same-night on-site for emergencies. Scheduled installs typically within 3–5 business days depending on scope.
