\"wifi,Macrat… how do I improve my wifi?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Wifi is a rotten technology\u2026.there it is. I\u2019ve got that off my chest and I think my love of cables is fairly well known.\u00a0 Having said that, wifi isn\u2019t half useful when<\/em> it works properly.
\n<\/strong>So how can you improve your wifi?<\/p>\n

Wifi is basically radio and as such is interfered with by lights, fridges, metal pipes, thick walls, cordless phones, other people\u2019s wifi etc.<\/p>\n

If there are dead spots in your home or office or performance is an issue we can help, we can diagnose the causes and offer solutions that you can actually try.<\/p>\n

There is no \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution to wifi problems as everyone\u2019s environment and requirements are different.<\/p>\n

There are range extenders, extra hot spots and powerline extenders to name but a few devices which could help. Your smart TV may be better connected with a wire whilst your phone and iPad want to roam free.<\/p>\n

The only real way to see if the technology works for you is to try before you buy.<\/p>\n

We can come to your home or office and test your wifi, network and internet link, recommend a solution, set it all up and leave it with you for a week. This way you can be sure that it meets your needs when usage peaks. This could be a sleepover for teenagers at home or a sales meeting at the office where many new devices are suddenly attached to your network for instance.<\/p>\n

There is no obligation to buy from us at the end of the trial, you are free to hand it back and buy from anywhere.<\/p>\n

Many clients do want to keep the kit once it\u2019s all installed and working and that\u2019s fine too.<\/p>\n

It is not our aim to sell hardware, we are selling a service which solves wifi and networking problems. We have found that the only reliable way to guarantee a good outcome is to try.<\/p>\n

The service costs \u00a370 which gives up to 2 hours on site for diagnostics and installation and includes collection of the hardware and installation of different hardware should it be needed. If we can\u2019t solve your problems we won\u2019t charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
