Sound Familiar?

These are the WiFi frustrations I hear about every single day. If any of these ring true, I can help.

😡

"WiFi works in the living room but dies in the bedroom"

You move ten feet and your video call drops. Streaming buffers endlessly in certain rooms. Some parts of your home feel like a WiFi black hole.

😬

"I pay for fast internet but everything is still slow"

You're paying for 200 Mbps but speed tests show 30. Your router is old, misconfigured, or placed in the worst possible spot. You know something is wrong but can't figure out what.

😨

"I think my neighbor is on my WiFi"

You never changed the default password. You see devices you don't recognize. Your internet slows down at odd hours and you're not sure who's connected.

📦

"My new router has been sitting in the box for weeks"

You bought a new router or mesh system but the setup instructions are overwhelming. You just want it to work without spending your whole weekend on it.

What I Set Up & Fix

From basic router installs to whole-home network overhauls, here's what I handle for WiFi and networking.

📡

Router Setup & Configuration

I'll install your new router, configure it for optimal performance, set up a strong password, update the firmware, and make sure every device in your home is connected. Works with all major brands.

📶

Dead Spot Elimination & Mesh Networks

I'll map your WiFi coverage, identify dead zones, and fix them — whether that means repositioning your router, adding an access point, or setting up a mesh system that blankets your whole home in strong signal.

🔒

WiFi Security & Password Setup

I'll lock down your network with WPA3 encryption, change default credentials, set up a guest network, remove unauthorized devices, and make sure your WiFi is secure from neighbors and intruders.

Speed Optimization

I'll test your actual speeds vs. what you're paying for, optimize channel selection to avoid interference, configure band steering, and make sure your router settings are tuned for maximum throughput.

🏠

Network Device Connection

Smart TVs, printers, security cameras, smart speakers, thermostats, game consoles — I'll get all your devices connected and working properly on your network, including setting up separate IoT networks for security.

🔎

Internet Troubleshooting

Frequent disconnects, intermittent outages, DNS issues, ISP equipment problems — I'll pinpoint whether the issue is your equipment, your provider, or your configuration and get it resolved.

Why Trust Me With Your Network

Enterprise Experience, Home Prices

I've built and managed networks for IBM and Cisco — from server rooms to campus-wide deployments. Your home network gets the same expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Configured in Your Home

I set everything up on-site so I can test signal strength in every room, position equipment optimally, and make sure every device connects before I leave.

WiFi & Network Setup FAQ

Why is my WiFi so slow even though I pay for fast internet?

There are many reasons your WiFi speed doesn't match your internet plan. Common culprits include an outdated router, poor router placement, interference from neighboring networks, too many devices on one band, or your ISP's equipment not performing as expected. I'll test your actual speeds, identify the bottleneck, and fix it.

Do I need a mesh network system?

It depends on the size and layout of your home. If you have dead spots that a single router can't cover — especially in multi-story homes or homes with thick walls — a mesh system is usually the best solution. I'll assess your space and recommend the most cost-effective option.

Can you set up the router I already bought?

Absolutely. Whether it's a new router still in the box or a mesh system you bought but couldn't figure out, I'll get it installed, configured, and optimized. I work with all major brands including Netgear, TP-Link, ASUS, Linksys, and more.

How do I know if someone is stealing my WiFi?

Signs include slower-than-normal speeds, unfamiliar devices showing up on your network, and unexplained data usage. I'll audit your network, show you every connected device, remove unauthorized users, and lock down your WiFi with proper security settings.

Can you help connect my smart home devices to WiFi?

Yes. Smart TVs, security cameras, thermostats, smart speakers, printers — I'll get them all connected and working properly on your network. I can also set up a separate guest network to keep your smart home devices isolated for better security.

How long does a WiFi setup or network fix usually take?

A basic router setup or security configuration typically takes about an hour. Mesh network installations or full-home WiFi optimization may take 1.5 to 2 hours. I'll give you a time estimate after the diagnostic.
