Layout mapping
Measure existing signal, find interference, and document where the network needs to perform.
Why It Matters
Mesh is a system design, not a product purchase.
The consumer mesh box on the shelf at the store is meant to fit every home. That is exactly why it works in none of them well. Real mesh installation starts with the building: square footage, layout, wall materials, ceiling structure, and where people actually use the network. Then it picks the right number of access points, the right places to mount them, and the right way to back them with cabling. Hardware is the last decision, not the first.
Access point plan
Right number of UniFi or Omada APs, mounted in places that are intentional, not improvised.
Cabling & PoE
Wired Cat6 uplinks to access points wherever practical, so the mesh is fast and stable.
One unified network
Single SSID, fast roaming, guest network, IoT segmentation, and clear documentation.
Common Applications
Where Austin mesh networks actually pay off.
- Two-story homes where the router was mounted on one floor and the other floor never works.
- Single-story homes longer than 60 feet where the back rooms drop the network.
- Brick, stucco, and stone-clad homes where signal cannot punch through the materials.
- Home offices that rely on video calls and need bulletproof connectivity in one specific room.
- Small offices and retail spaces with guest Wi-Fi, point-of-sale systems, and back-of-house devices on the same network.
- Properties with detached garages, casitas, ADUs, and outdoor coverage requirements.
- Smart homes that already exist but cannot keep all the devices online at once.
The Process
From first walkthrough to final handoff.
Every mesh job runs the same playbook, scaled to the size of the building. The point is predictable: you know what is being installed, where, and why — before the work starts.
- Walkthrough & intake. We listen to the pain points first: which rooms drop, which devices fail, when the network gets worst. This becomes the success criteria.
- Site survey. Calibrated signal mapping and channel analysis. We see the network the way it actually behaves, not the way the router app claims it does.
- Design proposal. A plan that names the exact access points, where they mount, how they are cabled, and what the configuration will look like — with transparent pricing.
- Cabling & mounting. Cat6 runs through attics, soffits, and chases. Access points mounted to ceilings or walls in clean locations.
- Configuration. One SSID, fast handoff, guest network, separate IoT VLAN if appropriate, secure defaults, and clean naming conventions on every device.
- Verification & handoff. We re-test every room, walk you through the network, and leave you with documentation showing what is installed and how to get support.

Frequently Asked
Wi-Fi mesh installation, common questions.
What is a Wi-Fi mesh network?
A mesh network uses multiple access points working as one system to give the whole home or business consistent coverage. Devices roam from access point to access point without dropping the connection.
Do I need a mesh system or just a better router?
If your problem is in one room, sometimes a relocation or single access point is enough. If you have multiple dead zones, a multi-story home, or thick interior walls, mesh is the right answer.
What hardware do you install?
We deploy commercial-grade Ubiquiti UniFi and TP-Link Omada access points, switches, and gateways. We do not install consumer kits that are abandoned within two years.
How many access points will my home need?
Most Austin homes need two to four access points placed strategically. Larger or multi-story homes can need five or more. The site survey is what determines the count, not square footage alone.
Will mesh fix my Wi-Fi dead zones?
Yes, when designed correctly. Adding mesh nodes without measurement often just rebroadcasts a weak signal. We measure first, then place access points where coverage actually fails. See dead zone repair for the targeted version of this work.
What cities do you cover?
Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Hutto, Buda, Kyle, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Easton Park, and Del Valle. See the full service area for details.
