Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi
Eero, Ubiquiti, or TP-Link Omada — we spec the right system for your home's size and layout, mount access points in the right locations, and configure everything properly.
Ethernet Drops
Wired connections to your TV, office, gaming setup, or wherever you need reliable bandwidth. We run Cat6 cables through walls and terminate in wall plates — no patch panels required for small runs.
Network Rack Installation
A proper home network rack with labeled patch panel, PoE switch, and UPS battery backup. Takes up minimal space and keeps everything organized.
ISP & Router Setup
We configure your modem/router combination correctly, set up VLANs for IoT devices if needed, and optimize settings for your actual usage.
Network Security Basics
Separate IoT and smart home devices onto their own network segment. Proper firewall settings. Guest network for visitors. Not overkill — just sensible.
Who This Is For
Best For
Older Portland Homes
Plaster walls, lath, and cast-iron pipes kill Wi-Fi signal. A mesh system with two or three access points covers most homes in the 1,500-3,000 sqft range without dead zones.
Work-From-Home Setups
A wired Cat6 drop from the router to the home office plus a dedicated mesh node. No more Zoom drops mid-call, no more roommate's stream tanking your bandwidth.
Streaming & Gaming Households
4K streaming + console gaming + smart TVs add up fast. We design for actual peak load — not the marketing speeds on the box — and put hardwired drops where they matter.
Why Wireless-First Works in Portland Homes
Plaster walls, deep lots, and aging routers.
Portland's housing stock skews old. Plaster-and-lath walls, cast-iron drain stacks, and chimney masonry all eat Wi-Fi for breakfast. We start most jobs with a wireless-first mesh design — two or three access points in the right spots usually solves 95% of dead-zone issues without opening a single wall.
For the rooms that need rock-solid uplink — home office, media rack, gaming setup — we pull a single Cat6 drop. No giant rewire, no two-week project. Most jobs are done in a day, and you keep your ISP, your existing modem, and your sanity. Minimum-viable infrastructure that runs for a decade.

Networking FAQ
Why not just buy a mesh kit at Costco and set it up myself?
You can — but most homes have at least one dead zone the consumer-recommended setup won't solve. We do a site survey, look at construction materials, and pick AP positions that actually cover the home. Costs more than DIY; saves the second purchase when the first doesn't work.
Do I have to switch internet providers?
No. We work with whatever ISP you have — Xfinity, CenturyLink, Ziply, Quantum, T-Mobile Home — and improve the network on your side of the modem.
Will you run cables through finished walls?
Yes, and we'll show you the fish path before we cut. We patch and paint-ready the holes we open. For 2-story homes we coordinate routing through closets, attics, or crawlspaces to minimize visible cable.
