Wi-Fi & home networking

Mesh setup, dead-spot fixes, smart-home pairing, printers on the network — done right the first time.

Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.

Bad Wi-Fi is the #1 reason your other tech feels slow. We measure your real-world speeds room-by-room, install or re-position mesh hardware, and lock the network down so your kid's friend's phone isn't slowing it down.

What is wi-fi & networking?

Home networking covers Wi-Fi setup, dead-spot fixes, mesh installation, smart-home device pairing, and putting printers on the network. Bad Wi-Fi is the single most common cause of "my devices feel slow" — fixing it usually fixes a half-dozen other complaints in the same visit.

What's included

  • Speed and signal survey across your whole space
  • Mesh router setup or upgrade
  • Wired runs where Wi-Fi can't reach
  • Smart-home device pairing (cameras, locks, thermostats)
  • Printer-on-network configuration
  • Guest network + parental controls if you want them

Common wi-fi & networking problems we fix

Common scenarios

Mesh vs. range extender

Mesh system

Multiple dead zones, two-story home, or anything over about 1,800 sq ft. Seamless roaming and a single network name across the house.

Range extender

One dead corner only. Cheaper, but cuts your speed roughly in half on the extended side and creates a second network name your phone has to remember.

Common questions

Do you supply the hardware?+

We can — billed at cost. Or use what you've already bought, no markup either way.

Will it improve my internet speed?+

Up to your ISP's plan. We can't make a 50 Mbps plan into 500, but we can make sure you actually get the 50 you're paying for.

I had multiple problems for weeks — my laptop was freezing, my printer wouldn't connect, and the Wi-Fi kept dropping during video calls. They showed up on time, diagnosed everything quickly, and had the whole setup running perfectly in under an hour. The technician even optimized the router placement so the signal reaches the back rooms now. Professional, patient, and very skilled.

Dan arrived on time and worked hard installing the new Verizon router I was forced to adopt and connecting it to my television and other devices. Verizon's written instructions were less than helpful, so Dan worked with them and with eero tech support to get everything functioning. He was noticeably careful leaving everything clean.

A Geek On Demand delivered an exceptional home-network experience. Their technician, Dan, helped me work through all my connectivity issues efficiently and gave clear, helpful advice about my setup. What could have been a stressful encounter became a smooth, educational interaction.
