Internet Service Provider Selection
Selecting the best internet service provider (ISP) is essential to making sure your online activity is fast, reliable and secure. Sometimes the speed quotes given by ISPs are “up to” a certain speed and therefore can be much slower than advertised. But you don’t have to trust the advertised speeds — we can look at the results of real-world speed tests to confirm it for you before you make your choice. Nerds on Call can help you locate a service provider who provides the fastest speed possible at the most affordable price. Then you’ll never have to worry about your internet connection going down unexpectedly during that important business meeting or overseas Skype call.Privacy and Security Configuration

Internet Gateway Installation
An internet gateway is a key stopping point for data on its way to or from other networks. Thanks to gateways, we are able to communicate and send data across the world. But to do this, an internet gateway requires an internet connection. If the gateway is not connecting, the issue could be due to the router, modem or an internet connection failure.- Install the internet gateway to a home WiFi connection

Internet Gateway Installation: Improve WiFi Range
Ensuring your WiFi connection is functioning optimally is essential when you’re looking for ways to improve your internet experience. You can increase your WiFi range by using a WiFi extender, powerline adapter, additional access points or a mesh WiFi network.WiFi range extender
- Boosts a broadband modem’s WiFi signal
- Acts as an intermediate repeater
- Ideal for smaller homes with a poor signal in certain rooms
Powerline adapter
- An alternative to running in-wall ethernet cables or relying on sometimes unstable WiFi
Mesh networking
- A kit with a few nodes can spread out fast WiFi across a relatively large area
- Easy to set up and maintain. Most require nothing more than a few minutes choosing preferences in an app
Additional access points
- If your single router network is struggling to cover all areas of your home, adding an extender or wired access point will fill that void with a strong WiFi signal for a relatively affordable price
