Residential
Recent advances in technology
now allow simple and cost effective network solutions to be installed
in the home with all the same benefits available in larger networks.
Home networks can be configured by installing fixed cabling or by using a wireless system or as is quite often the case, a combination of both.
Why let that second computer sit idle? Install a home network today and
have unrestricted multiple access to the Internet and e-mail as well making
use of all the additional benefits of networking such as file and print
sharing - and most importantly protect your computers from unwanted intrusion
over the Internet.
How many computers can I connect?
A home network can consist of two or more computers
- the number is entirely up to you.
Will my wireless network work with
my provider?
Our home network solutions are compatible with all dialup, cable and ADSL
Internet carrier connections.
Can you install the network cables
in an existing house?
Definitely - most networks are installed in existing houses or apartments.
A degree of skill is required to install a network effectively in an existing
house without damaging any areas of the building. Draping wires around
the outside is not an option!
All of our installers carry an Australian Communications Authority licence - this licence is required for all voice and data cabling installations in Australia and all installations are fully guaranteed for 3 years.
Can I install the network myself?
Yes. We offer starter kits to allow setting up of a basic network as well
as all of the tools and materials that you will require to complete the
job.
How secure will my wireless network
be?
Wireless networks can be installed very quickly but it not very often
do we see a network that has been installed correctly. Running an unprotected
wireless network is like putting a private phone on your front fence for
public use!
Wireless networks can be made just as secure as a wired network when installed properly.
How far will my wireless network
work?
Performance of a wireless network varies significantly depending on the
environment it is operating in. Claims made by manufacturers for distance
of operation are based on ideal conditions that rarely exist in the 'real'
world.
A wireless audit is recommended to be conducted prior to any installation to ascertain acceptable performance levels throughout your particular home.
We offer this service free of charge.
Can I control when the kids use
the Internet?
A home network can give you control over when the kids can use their wireless
laptops on the Internet by cutting off their connection at a fixed time
that you control, eg: off at 9:00pm at night and back on at 8:00am in
the morning.
What does it cost?
The construction of homes varies widely as does the requirements of each
household.
We offer a free service to inspect your house to test the performance of a wireless system and to assess the cost of installing a partial or full wired or wireless network system in your home.
