Are you having trouble with your Wi-Fi? Trying desperately to send an email with a hefty attachment, or keep losing connection on a video call? It can be really frustrating when a Wi-Fi connection keeps dropping out or runs really s l o w l y.
So first things first – Was your network designed by a professional? If not, then there could be something fundamentally wrong with your set up. It’s straightforward enough to plug in a router at home and get going right away, but offices require a bit more thought than that, and that’s often where people go a bit awry.
Or maybe you are unfortunate enough to have inherited a problematic network in a new job or new office? A site survey could identify any flaws and help to design a new, more reliable WLAN.
Here at Geekabit, our Wi-Fi experts can help resolve your Wi-Fi woes, whatever the cause of the problem.
To diagnose the issue(s) we would often collect data from your network on-site by investigating your Wi-Fi infrastructure and performance.
Questions we would be asking include, are the access points working? Are the access points seeing other access points nearby? Are the ethernet cables connecting to the access points working properly?
Whether you are an IT professional or not, you don’t want to be struggling with unreliable Wi-Fi.
Getting to the bottom of what’s causing the issue isn’t always an easy process, there are a number of things you could be experiencing. For example:
• Gaps in coverage
• Interference across channels
• A user device causing problems whilst trying to connect
• Configuration problems with the infrastructure of the Wi-Fi network itself
What’s going on can look very different between the access point and the floor. These potential issues aren’t usually the types of things you can identify yourself as they require specialist tools to capture and analyse the data.
That’s where our Wi-Fi experts come in. We can walk around on floor level to explore your network and measure site survey to data to identify exactly what’s going on.
With the information we find, we can then design a new Wi-Fi network that will reduce the interference you’re experience, or close a coverage gap. Whatever the problem, it can be solved.
Working days are busy as it is; you don’t have time to be wasting on slow, unreliable Wi-Fi. For most organisations, Wi-Fi is now business critical, and getting a well designed, trustworthy network is a very worthwhile investment.
