Mesh WiFi Setup
Mesh works or doesn't work based almost entirely on where the nodes go. I'll walk the house, find the dead spots, and place the units where they fix them — not wherever there happens to be an outlet.
No deposit. Pay when it's done. Or call John on (619) 928-6500.
What's included
- Signal walked and dead spots found before anything is placed
- Main unit connected to your existing modem
- Satellite nodes placed for actual coverage, not convenience
- One network name across the whole house so devices stop hopping
- Your existing devices moved onto the new network
- Speed checked in the rooms that were the problem
What I'll need from you
- The mesh system
- Your internet account login, if the modem needs it
- A list of the rooms where it currently drops
- How long it takes
- About an hour for a three-node setup.

The instructions came in six languages and none of them helped.
Will this make my internet faster?
It'll make it reach. If the plan you pay for is slow at the modem, mesh won't change that — but if you have good speed in one room and nothing in another, this is exactly the fix.
Do you run ethernet through the walls?
No. Running cable inside finished walls is a different job. I place and configure wireless nodes, and I'll use existing ethernet runs if you already have them.
Which system should I buy?
Any of the current mainstream mesh kits are fine. Size it by square footage and floors. Tell me your layout and I'll tell you how many nodes you actually need.

Adding a second job to the same trip is the cheapest way to buy my time — the drive only gets paid for once.
Mesh WiFi installation across San Diego
Mesh WiFi installation in San Diego is mostly a story about stucco. Chicken-wire lath under the stucco on any home built before about 1960 behaves like a Faraday cage, which is why a single router in the front room of a Kensington or Point Loma bungalow leaves the back bedroom with nothing. It is also why moving the router twelve feet sometimes solves what people assumed needed hundreds of dollars of hardware, and I would rather find that out with a meter than sell you nodes you do not need.
The other San Diego pattern is the two-storey tract home with the cable coming in at one corner — common through Mira Mesa, Rancho Peñasquitos, Santee and the Eastlake plans. Those need a node placed on the floor above, positioned by measurement rather than by whichever shelf is free. I test signal room by room before and after and write the numbers down, so the improvement is a figure you can see rather than a feeling that it seems better.
Send a photo of the spot. I'll confirm $149.
If the photo shows something that changes the price, you'll know before I drive out — not after.
