Wi-Fi & Network Installation in Boca Raton & South Florida

A typical single-family home network runs roughly $2,500 to $6,000 installed, covering router/firewall, managed PoE switch, three to five ceiling access points, cabling and configuration. Larger estates with multiple buildings, or businesses needing segmentation and redundancy, are quoted after a site survey. Existing usable cabling brings the number down.

Sometimes, and only if the nodes are wired back to the router. Wireless-backhaul mesh loses roughly half its throughput at every hop, which in a concrete-block Florida home means the far node delivers a fraction of what you pay for. A wired access point in the right ceiling almost always outperforms three mesh pucks.

Rough rule for South Florida construction: one access point per 1,200 to 1,500 square feet, plus one outdoor unit for the pool and patio area. Concrete block, foil-backed insulation and impact glass all cut range considerably, so square footage alone understates it. We survey rather than estimate.

Far less than most households are sold. Streaming 4K takes roughly 25 Mbps per stream, a video call 3 to 5 Mbps, and a 6-camera system uploads almost nothing unless you have enabled cloud backup. Most families are comfortable on 300 to 500 Mbps. Buying a gigabit plan almost never fixes a coverage or latency problem, because the bottleneck is inside the house, which is why we measure room by room before recommending you change anything with your provider.

For as long as the equipment has power, and that is a decision you get to make. We put the modem, firewall, switch and camera recorder on a UPS as standard, which covers the flickers and short outages that are routine here and keeps cameras recording and local automation running. A longer outage needs a generator circuit feeding the rack. We will size the UPS and tell you honestly what it does and does not buy you.

Yes. Buried fiber or Cat6 where a trench is practical, or a licensed point-to-point wireless bridge where it is not. Both deliver full speed to the far building rather than a weak fringe signal.

We work behind any provider: Comcast, AT&T Fiber, Hotwire, Breezeline and others. We often replace the provider gateway with a proper firewall and put their box in bridge mode, which resolves a surprising number of long-standing issues by itself.
