Networking & Wi-Fi Setup
Professional network installation and Wi-Fi troubleshooting for homes and businesses in Edinburgh.
What We Do
From simple router setups to complex business networks, we provide end-to-end networking solutions tailored to your environment. Whether you're dealing with dead zones in a flat in Leith, want whole-home mesh Wi-Fi for streaming and gaming, or need structured cabling and managed switches for a growing office in the city centre, we design, install, and optimise the network around how you actually use it.
We start with a property survey to understand your layout, identify interference sources, and assess your existing equipment. Then we recommend the right solution in plain English — no upselling, no jargon — and complete most installations in a single visit. You walk away with a network that just works, written details of every setting, and a team that knows your setup if you ever need help.
Common Network Problems We Fix
Wi-Fi Dead Zones
Some rooms have no signal at all? We assess your property, identify coverage gaps, and deploy mesh Wi-Fi or extra access points to cover every corner.
Slow Internet Speeds
Not getting the speeds you're paying for? We diagnose whether the bottleneck is your ISP, router, channel congestion, or outdated hardware — then fix it.
Frequent Disconnections
Constant drop-outs during video calls or gaming? We investigate firmware bugs, channel congestion, overheating routers, and faulty cables to restore stability.
Mesh Wi-Fi Setup
Eliminate dead zones with whole-home mesh Wi-Fi coverage. We install, configure, and optimise mesh systems from leading brands for seamless connectivity.
Network Cabling
Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a Ethernet runs for homes and offices. Professionally routed and terminated for reliable, high-speed wired connections.
VPN & Firewall
Secure your internet with VPN configuration on routers and devices, plus properly tuned hardware and software firewalls with custom rules.
Device Connection Problems
Certain devices refusing to connect? We troubleshoot driver issues, IP conflicts, DNS problems, and authentication errors so every device works reliably.
Switches & Access Points
Expand your network with managed switches and wireless access points. Ideal for larger homes and offices that need extra wired or wireless capacity.
Printer & Device Sharing
Need to share printers, drives, or media across your network? We configure network sharing, NAS drives, and smart home device pairing properly.
Equipment We Configure
We work with all major networking brands and ISP-supplied hardware. Whatever you have, we can usually configure it:
Don't see your equipment listed? We most likely still configure it. Get in touch with the make and model.
Our Networking Process
- Site Visit — We arrive at your property to survey the layout, identify interference sources, and assess your current equipment. We also discuss how you use your network day-to-day.
- Recommendation & Quote — Based on the survey, we provide a clear recommendation and upfront quote in plain English — no upselling.
- Installation — We install and configure all hardware, run cables neatly where needed, optimise Wi-Fi channels and placement, and set up VPN, firewall, and guest networks.
- Speed & Coverage Testing — We run speed tests across your property, verify all devices connect properly, and check signal strength in every room.
- Handover & Warranty — We walk you through how everything works and provide written details of your network settings, all backed by our workmanship warranty.
Wi-Fi Performance Tips
A few simple changes can make a big difference to your home or office Wi-Fi performance:
- Place your router centrally, off the floor, and away from metal objects, microwaves, and cordless phones
- Use the 5 GHz band for nearby devices and reserve 2.4 GHz for distant or low-bandwidth gear
- Reboot your router every few weeks to clear memory and pick up firmware updates
- Replace ISP-supplied routers older than 5 years — modern routers are dramatically faster
- Wire critical devices (PC, smart TV, console) to ethernet for the most stable connection
- Switch to WPA3 encryption and use a strong, unique Wi-Fi password
- Set up a guest network for visitors and IoT devices to keep your main network secure
- Run a periodic speed test on speedtest.net — if results are far below your plan, contact your ISP
