How a business network works, and what a complete network needs

A good network is more than a Wi-Fi router. Internet comes in through a router and firewall, a switch distributes it, cables carry it to rooms, and access points give Wi-Fi coverage.

What decides the design

  • Count users and devices and the apps they use (video calls, cloud, CCTV).
  • Do a Wi-Fi survey so access points are placed in the right spots.
  • Plan the number of cable points per room and a few spares.
  • Check your internet speed and consider a backup line.
  • Separate guest Wi-Fi from your office network.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • One consumer router for a whole building. Coverage is poor and it fails under load.
  • Cheap cable and no labelling, so faults are hard to trace.
  • No firewall or password policy.
  • No UPS or backup internet.
