Wireless Networks
Note: Now also configuring Imagine WiMax routers for use in your home or office!
An amazing 50% of all wireless network equipment is brought back to the retail store by customers because they either bought the wrong equipment or cannot figure out the how to set up their wireless network, and so believe the equipment to be faulty. The other 50% who do manage to set up their network usually do not (or cannot) make it secure, leaving their network open to anyone who wants free broadband and their precious data available to anyone who wants it!
Several of our staff are former PC World and Digiweb technicians who are also Microsoft, Apple, Linux and HP trained. We have extensive knowledge about setting up, configuring and testing all major brands of routers and wireless adapters (Linksys, D-link, Belkin, Netgear etc) and can make your broadband connection wireless throughout your premises no matter who your provider is - Digiweb, Net1, Eircom, Perlico, Smart, Clearwire, Irish Broadband - it doesn't matter.
Perhaps you are already wireless but are confused about security - wep, wpa, 64 bit, 128 bit? Let us worry about this for you. We'll make your network secure and recommend a good firewall program to use. We can also configure DNS and content filtering for your home/business. We'll give you a login so you can view statistics and tweak settings afterwards.
Maybe you're happy with all the above but could never figure out how to share music over your network? Have a game you would like to play on multiplayer but you just can't see the other PCs for some reason? No problem, we share music and play games all the time. We know this stuff really well and will share our knowledge with you!
There's other stuff too in this confusing business- wirless network printing, cross-platform networking (Windows to OSX or Linux), N1, G+ or MIMO? We know all about these things, which means you don't have too.
Please contact us if you'd like us to set up your wireless network for you.
