Remote Network Help

Network Optimization Help

Your network works. It just is not fast. A technician can find out why, remotely.

Paying for gigabit and seeing a fraction of it is one of the most common things customers bring us. Usually the internet connection is fine and the problem sits somewhere between the modem and the device, which is exactly the part nobody at the ISP will look at.

A technician gets on a remote session with you, measures where the throughput actually goes, and fixes the cause instead of guessing at it. No new hardware unless something genuinely needs replacing.

What we actually help with

  • Gigabit service that never delivers gigabit speeds

  • Wi-Fi that drops during video calls but tests fine afterward

  • One device or one room that is always slower than the rest

  • Buffering and stutter on streaming or game traffic

  • Access point placement, channel width and transmit power

  • Working out whether the bottleneck is the ISP, the router or the Wi-Fi

Real jobs we have solved

Every one of these came from a five-star review left by the customer after the work was done.

Cellular-Fed Home Network Sees Wi-Fi Speeds Cut in Half — Diagnosed

A homeowner running dual MOFI cellular routers with load balancing into a Ubiquiti bridge and multi-AP mesh was losing half his throughput once traffic reached in-home Wi-Fi. Lance reviewed the full topology, from the MOFI units through the airMAX bridge to the switch and AP deployment, and tuned settings across the network to restore speeds closer to the modem's actual output.

Locked-Out Multi-ISP Network Reset and Secured for Good

A dual-ISP home network with an EdgeRouter, two Ubiquiti switches, and three PoE access points had been left inaccessible after the original installer went unresponsive and withheld admin credentials.

UniFi U7-PRO Upgrade Gone Wrong — Diagnosed and Corrected

After a homeowner's swap to U7-PRO access points triggered wireless instability, rogue AP alerts, and IP conflict warnings, Jorge worked through the full UniFi setup to identify misconfigurations and restore reliable 2.4GHz and 5GHz performance across the 3,500 sq ft home. He also reviewed VLAN segmentation and firewall rules, laying the groundwork for better isolation of public-facing services like Plex.

UniFi Speeds Stuck at 30 Mbps — Restored to Full 450 Mbps

A homeowner's UniFi network (UDM Pro, USW-24-PoE, UAP-AC-Pro, and U6-Mesh) was bottlenecked well below her 450 Mbps plan despite a direct modem connection hitting full speed. Jorge diagnosed the outdated controller and cabling configuration, applied the necessary firmware and system updates, and reconfigured the network for proper throughput and stronger security.
