A poorly configured network is one of the most common and most overlooked sources of technology frustration — for both households and businesses. Dead zones, dropped connections, slow speeds, and security gaps are almost always fixable. Clayton IT provides on-site WiFi and networking setup across Greater Victoria, from simple home networks to multi-floor business environments.
Business and Office Networking
A reliable, secure network is foundational to any business. Ian designs and configures networks that match your space and usage — whether that’s a single-office setup or a multi-room environment with dedicated hardware for staff, guests, and devices.
- Business-grade router and switch configuration — proper hardware selection and setup for reliability and security
- Mesh WiFi deployment — seamless whole-building coverage with a single network name and password
- Guest network isolation — separate client or visitor access that doesn’t touch your internal network
- Network security review — WPA3 encryption, firmware updates, and router hardening
- ISP modem/router separation — disabling the routing function on ISP-supplied hardware to improve performance
Home WiFi Setup
Home networks have become significantly more demanding — streaming, remote work, smart home devices, and gaming all compete for bandwidth and coverage. Ian advises on the right hardware for your home’s layout and usage, then installs and configures it properly.
The combination modem-routers supplied by Telus and Shaw are rarely as capable as advertised. In most cases, adding a dedicated router — or a mesh system for larger homes — delivers a meaningful improvement in speed, coverage, and reliability.
Mesh WiFi Systems
Mesh networks have transformed home and small-business WiFi. Systems from manufacturers like Eero, Google, and Netgear Orbi place multiple access points throughout a building, creating seamless coverage under a single network name. There are no separate zones to manage and no signal handoff gaps when moving between rooms. Ian can advise on the right system for your space and handle the full installation and configuration.
