Wireless Networks
Nowadays, it's relatively easy and inexpensive to set up wireless Internet in your home or office. Simply head on over to the store, pick up a wireless router, plug it in to your cable or DSL Internet system, and you're good to go. Unfortunately, wireless Internet suffers from one significant issue: You cannot see it. It's hard to find out how far your signal can really go, where any wireless interference might be coming from, where dead zones (”dead spots”) exist, and how to best get around these issues.

Oregon Tech Support specializes in wireless planning, installation, deployment and wireless troubleshooting for your home or business. We can determine what type of wireless network devices you need, how to best provide reliable coverage across your entire home or office, and how to locate and identify wireless interference issues.

Given the trend of increasing reliance on wireless technology, there isn't much allowance for low signal strength, slow speed or random, intermittent interference that cuts off your network entirely. We can help you make sure that you don't end up spending money where it won't be needed and set things up in a way that best fits your home or office layout.
The benefits of wireless technology are sometimes outweighed by the potential pitfalls. Wireless interference from malfunctioning wireless devices, cordless phones, game consoles and nearby wireless networks can cause havoc and make troubleshooting a wireless network difficult. Since it's difficult to “see” wireless signals, it can be near impossible to troubleshoot without assistance.
One method commonly used to help visualize interference is commonly referred to as wireless spectrum analysis. The landscape literally comes alive as the various and competing signals are combined into a cohesive chart to help you identify, locate and remove or relocate problematic equipment.
This allows us to properly identify problematic items that might be affecting your wireless signal in terms of signal strength and how far it can go (”range”), along with finding the sources of any interference. It can literally save you dozens of hours of wasted time in attempting to see what cannot be easily seen.
