WiFi Booster Installation and Signal Extension

OK! So thanks to our home networking wizardry, all those daily frustrations are a thing of the past. That’s a great start.

It’s all tickety boo until you notice your WiFi signal strength bars are lower than Sarlacc at a limbo competition. 

Can a nerd help? 

Well first off, just for the record, a board game room? We are insanely jealous. But more importantly, absolutely we can help. One of our techs can install signal boosters or even a mesh network to enhance your WiFi home networking capability across your whole property. Signal blackspots will be a thing of the past. 

Setting you up to access your home computer from anywhere

But let’s imagine the board game room at the back of your yard is a pipe dream. Boo. But you travel a lot and would like to access files and media on your home computer from everywhere. 

Here’s a detailed breakdown of our remote access solutions. In a nutshell though, one of our techs can expand your home networking setup to include a cloud service, which places a secure copy of your files in an encrypted server online. All those files you rely on can be accessed instantly wherever you have a data connection — from Sacramento to Shenzhen to Savareen. (Connectivity in fictional places may cost extra.)

Questions nerds often hear about Sacramento Home Networking

Is it expensive to get Nerds on Call to fix my home networking problem?

In almost all situations, no. In some homes in Sacramento, we may need to install signal boosters to get your WiFi reliable everywhere and that can cost a bit extra. But most problems can be resolved with correct configuration. And we can offer advice on good networking technology that is surprisingly inexpensive.

I’m having WiFi issues. Will I need to run ethernet through my whole house?

Occasionally, running ethernet through your home is the best solution. And yep, we can do that for you if it’s required. But these days, most home networking problems can be solved with the right wireless technology.

Can I learn to manage my own WiFi network?

Totally. And we can teach you. As part of our home networking service, we’ll take the time to give you step by step advice on how to administer a WiFi network properly.

Is tickets-boo a real word?

Yes. But probably don’t use it in a job application.  

Is remote access safe?

Absolutely. It just needs to be configured correctly. Equipped with the right software and a good password, you can safely access your files remotely.

Is home networking expensive?

For the most part, no. Home networking need not be a particularly expensive service. If you need runs of ethernet cable through your home, that can increase the cost.

Common Terms

Ethernet Cable

An Ethernet cable can support a faster data transfer rate compared to wireless networks.

Router

A router can also act as a DHCP server, assigning IP addresses to devices on the network.

Modem

A modem can be a standalone device or can be integrated with a router.

Wifi Signal Booster

A WiFi signal booster allows you to extend the range of your wireless network and connect to the Internet more easily in areas of your home or office that may have weak or no signal. Some boosters also include an Ethernet port, which allows them to be used as a wireless bridge, connecting wired devices to the network.
