Nothing brings an office to a grinding halt quite like a standard off-the-shelf home router struggling to process dozens of active signals at once. This is precisely why we always, without fail, will recommend a commercial-level option for any business.
Let’s go over exactly why you simply cannot trust the router you just picked up at the store.
An unsecured wireless network leaves your entire business vulnerable to data interception and unauthorized access. When guests, customers, and employees all share the same network connection, a security breach on a single device can expose your core business computers.
Protecting your network does not require advanced technical expertise, per se, but it does demand a few foundational adjustments to your office internet router's configuration.
We’ve all been there, you’re in the middle of an important meeting or trying to upload a large proposal, and suddenly the loading wheel of death appears. You look over at your laptop, and you’ve got one lonely bar of Wi-Fi.
We’ve all been there. A client walks into the office, a contractor needs to check a manual, or a visitor is waiting in the lobby, and they ask that ubiquitous question: "What’s the Wi-Fi password?"
Sharing it feels like common courtesy, of course. If you are handing them the password to your primary office network, you are doing much more than sharing an internet connection. You are essentially handing a stranger the keys to your entire digital office.
Wi-Fi connectivity is a remarkable technology when you really think about it, and it has fundamentally changed how we work today. What hasn’t changed, unfortunately, is that hackers and cybercriminals will try to use this technology to their own advantage. Therefore, let’s discuss a few relatively simple ways that you can improve your wireless network’s overall security.
Most modern businesses rely on wireless internet connectivity in their day-to-day processes. Of course, this means that their potential productivity is tied to the quality of their internet and its capability to serve the entire workforce. As a business grows it becomes more important that its Wi-Fi setup can support it. Let’s go over the process of properly scaling your network to your needs.
When creating an office’s network, wireless functionality has become a necessary element to include. Of course, this is usually easier said than done, as wireless signals can be notoriously persnickety. That’s why we’re offering some tips to help you make the most of your business’ wireless network setup.
