Sound familiar?
- Guests are on the same Wi-Fi as our file server.
- The firewall went in years ago and nobody knows the admin password.
- Remote access means someone opened a port and hoped for the best.
- Wi-Fi drops in the back office every afternoon.
What is included
- A map of what you have today: internet connection, firewall, switches, Wi-Fi and connected devices.
- A segmented design that separates staff, guests, printers, cameras and other devices.
- Firewall rules that deny by default and allow only what the business needs.
- Secure remote access that does not leave services open to the internet.
- A Wi-Fi review: coverage, security settings and guest isolation.
- Firmware updates, hardened admin access and logging on network gear.
What you receive at the end
- A network diagram and a written rule set that matches what is actually configured.
- Admin credentials handed over in a password manager you control.
- A short change log so the next person knows what was done and why.
Who it suits
- Offices with guest Wi-Fi, cameras, printers or other devices sharing one flat network.
- Practices and firms that handle client or patient data on site.
- Businesses replacing a firewall or adding a second location.

Network and firewall: common questions
Do we need new equipment?
Often not. Most business firewalls and Wi-Fi systems can be segmented and cleaned up as they are. If something does need replacing, you get a vendor-neutral spec and buy it wherever you like.
Will the internet go down during the work?
Changes that touch the internet connection are scheduled outside business hours, with the previous configuration saved so it can be put back quickly.
Can you work on site?
Yes, in Carson City and Reno. Elsewhere, the work is done remotely with someone on site for anything physical.
