Business Wi-Fi in Wallasey
Small independents running on one or two lines and several mobiles with nothing tying them together. And seafront cabling that takes a beating.
What we do
The survey is the part that matters. Everything after it is installation.
On the ground in Wallasey
Two things shape Wi-Fi on this side of the Wirral.
The buildings. Older premises in the town and out towards New Brighton have solid walls and layouts that were adapted rather than designed, so a single router at the front covers the front and adding a second one on the same channel makes it worse.
The weather. On the seafront, any external cabling or externally mounted equipment takes a genuine beating, and it is worth specifying and checking that properly rather than discovering the problem during the first serious storm of the winter.
For hospitality, the test is a full room on a summer weekend, and guest devices need to be nowhere near the till.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems we fix for Wallasey businesses, and almost none of them are solved by buying a bigger package.
Brick, steel frames, thick masonry and the odd bit of foil-backed insulation. Most buildings absorb signal in ways a floorplan never reveals.
Access points get planned around where people sit, then everyone spends the day in the breakout area, the meeting room or the kitchen, where nobody put one.
A single consumer router in the corner was never going to cover the place, and adding a second on the same channel makes it worse rather than better.
Customer devices sitting on the same network as your tills, your files and your card terminals, with one password everybody in the building knows.
Consumer kit gives you a flashing light and a guess. Without a controller showing every access point and device, diagnosing a fault is guesswork.
The problems that matter appear under load, which is exactly when nobody has time to investigate them.
Why Synergy Max
Common questions
Easy to establish, and worth doing before you spend anything. Run a speed test on a device plugged into the router with a cable, then the same test on Wi-Fi at the far end of the building. If the wired figure is good and the wireless one is not, your broadband is fine and the network is the problem.
It depends on the building far more than the floor area, which is why anybody quoting from square footage alone is guessing. A masonry or steel-framed building can need several times what an equivalent modern open plan office needs. That is what the survey establishes.
Yes, and you should. VLANs put guests on a completely separate logical network so they cannot see your files, your cameras or your payment systems. PPSK means different groups get their own keys, so revoking one does not mean changing the password for everybody.
We monitor it, which means more often than not we see a problem before you report one. You also get one controller showing every access point and every connected device, so when something does go wrong it gets diagnosed rather than guessed at and rebooted.
You can, and for a venue it is one of the most useful things the Wi-Fi does, but it has to be opt-in. Under UK GDPR and PECR you need consent before sending marketing, the sign-in page has to make clear what somebody is agreeing to, and every message needs a working unsubscribe. We build the portal that way.
