Intermittent connectivity
Trace slow, unstable, or dropping connections across the ISP handoff, gateway, switches, access points, cabling, DNS, and affected devices instead of repeatedly rebooting equipment.

A network your staff can stop thinking about.
On-site and remote network support for Greater Boston small businesses with unreliable Wi-Fi, intermittent internet, inherited equipment, office changes, or nobody clearly responsible for the connections underneath daily work.

What we handle
Troubleshoot the whole path—not just the access point.
A useful diagnosis follows the connection from the provider handoff through the gateway, switching, cabling, wireless coverage, device, and service being used. We document that path so the next incident does not begin from zero.
Business Wi-Fi coverage
Assess placement, construction, interference, capacity, roaming, and the rooms where staff or customer-facing work actually happens.
WirelessSwitching and segmentation
Review port use, managed switching, VLANs, guest access, printers, cameras, and connected equipment so different kinds of traffic have sensible boundaries.
Network designFirewall and internet coordination
Document the provider circuit, public addressing, gateway configuration, failover options, support contacts, and the responsibilities split between the ISP and local network.
Internet edgeOffice moves and changes
Plan equipment placement, provider dates, cabling dependencies, cutover steps, testing, and a supportable first day in a new or renovated space.
ProjectsNetwork records and lifecycle
Create a current equipment inventory, topology, configuration record, support path, replacement priorities, and a clear owner for ongoing changes.
DocumentationOne connected system
The provider, firewall, switches, Wi-Fi, and rooms have to work together.
Network problems often sit between vendors or only appear in a particular room, at a particular time, or on a particular device. A documented end-to-end view makes those patterns diagnosable.
A supportable baseline
Reliable enough for work. Clear enough to maintain.
The goal is not the most elaborate network. It is stable coverage, appropriate separation, known ownership, and enough documentation to make future changes deliberate.
- A documented path from the internet handoff to staff devices
- Coverage designed around the actual floor plan and work patterns
- Guest, business, and connected-device traffic separated where appropriate
- Provider and equipment responsibilities that no longer fall between vendors
- A prioritized plan for fixes, replacement, or ongoing management
Common questions
Before changing the network.
Can you support a network that is not UniFi?
Often, yes. We first identify the hardware, administrative access, licensing, support status, and whether the existing platform can be maintained safely. UniFi has a separate design page because it is a common planned platform, not because every inherited network must be replaced.
Do you install structured cabling?
We can assess requirements, mark intended locations, coordinate with building management and qualified low-voltage contractors, and validate the network after cabling is complete. Any licensed or construction-specific work is assigned to the appropriate trade rather than represented as general IT work.
Can you fix an internet outage?
We can determine whether the failure is inside the office, at the provider handoff, or upstream; restore local equipment when appropriate; and coordinate with the ISP using the technical details it needs. We cannot control a provider outage or promise restoration times on the provider’s behalf.
Can this be a one-time engagement?
Yes. A contained diagnosis, office change, wireless assessment, or documentation project can stand alone. Ongoing management is useful when the business needs continuing monitoring, configuration ownership, user support, and vendor follow-through.
What should we send before an on-site visit?
Share the address, floor or suite, affected rooms, approximate staff and device count, provider name, equipment photos, any available admin access, and the times the issue is most visible. Do not send passwords through the website form.
Where does the network stop being dependable?
Describe the office, affected rooms or users, provider, equipment you recognize, and whether the problem is constant or intermittent. We’ll define the safest first diagnostic step.
