Network Services
Take your wire organization and file backup to the next level with Eagle IT.
If you don’t have a network closet in your home, odds are your home computer is storing all of your precious files and memories on it’s own isolated hard drive. It’s time to upgrade! Network closets are now one of our most requested services; they allow us to provide high-end IT solutions while making it easier for us to come out and service customers on their schedule. A network closet is essentially a server room that’s built into a closet space in an already existing room. It makes setup, maintenance, repair, backups, security updates and overall tech support easier for both you and our technicians. To make sure you get all of these advantages for yourself, simply contact our office — we’ll be glad to explain more about what we can do for you!
Network equipment, such as routers, switches, and firewalls, should be kept in a secure location to prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with them. When not in use, all network equipment should be stored in anti-static bags or in anti-static containers. Laptops may also require special storage if they contain sensitive data. It is best to contact an IT technician for instructions on how to properly store laptop computers that contain confidential information. The safety of your confidential data will increase if you can eliminate these items from public places within your organization or office building.

Installing a wireless network in your home or office is a great way to make sure everyone stays connected without having to wade through clunky wired connections. If you’re concerned about not being able to create your own network, hire professionals who can do it for you. At times, even those with an extensive technical background can have trouble getting WiFi to play nicely, so if you don’t want to be frustrated, consider hiring an outside expert.
If you have ever gone to a coffee shop or library that has free Wi-Fi, you know how easy it is to get connected. Most of us don’t even realize how much time we spend connected to Wi-Fi, or what we do when we are connected. Wireless networks operate on radio frequencies with varying ranges depending on your location and access point. Using tools like a spectrum analyzer can help you identify interference problems and manage your network more effectively. Better yet, we can do it for you. There can be some unique challenges to overcome when installing a wireless network in your home.
Networking, in a professional context, is a group of computers (or devices) that are connected to each other. It’s important to have properly functioning networking equipment, since it’s integral to how your business can operate. For example, if you’re running an e-commerce business with an online store, having a network connection ensures you’ll be able to process orders quickly and efficiently. Networking services deal with anything from helping you set up your network equipment correctly or responding immediately when your Internet connection goes down. Look for networking companies that provide not only IT support but also tech consulting services.
When it comes to networking, one of your primary goals should be to make your home network as secure as possible. The first thing you need to do is build a home network. There are two main options for doing so: You can either purchase networking hardware like a router or switch, or buy a computer with networking capabilities built in. Either way, once you have hardware, installation is fairly simple. Just plug everything in and connect each device via cables or Wi-Fi; after that’s done, turn on each device and follow any additional instructions from there.
A firewall is a tool that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic. Most personal computers have built-in firewalls, but it’s a good idea to make sure yours is up to date. A firewall will prevent hackers from attempting attacks on your computer or business network. It’s a good idea to verify that your firewall settings are correct, since different networks might have different restrictions set in place. If you don’t know how to use these settings effectively, consider seeking help from an IT professional who can ensure that your firewalls are properly configured.
An important part of keeping a business secure is making sure every piece of equipment—servers, workstations, phones, tablets and more—is patched to date. This includes all hardware and software. And while most business owners know what to do on their own workstations, they often neglect their servers; it’s critical that those are kept up-to-date as well. Always ensure that security patches are installed for both your server operating system (Windows or Linux) and for any application servers you have running such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
Although viruses and malware have gotten a lot of media attention, data breaches due to hacking are an even bigger threat to your personal information. Just about every major breach in recent years has involved a cyberattack—think of Anthem, Target, Ashley Madison, Snapchat, among many others. To prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive information in any way that could expose you to identity theft or fraud, consider hiring an ethical hacker for testing purposes. If you aren’t sure where to start, give us a call.
A lot of technology these days is designed to be mobile. Chances are you’re reading this post on a mobile device, working on a laptop or desktop at your home office, using an iPad in a coffee shop, or even checking out at Starbucks with an Apple Watch. But sometimes our devices aren’t that mobile—they need repair because they’ve been damaged or have stopped working properly. As your local computer tech service provider, we can ensure everything from phones to tablets to desktops are working exactly as they should. And if there’s ever an issue with one of our services (or yours), we can quickly diagnose it remotely—making it easier for us both!
Cabling is arguably one of the most important aspects of any construction job, whether it’s a brand new build or an existing network requiring an upgrade. It’s more important than you think. Whether you need cables for a server room or to connect your new appliances to a central hub, we can help. We know that not all cabling is created equal. If you want something that will last as long as your home does, it’s important to hire professionals who understand how to make sure each cable carries data safely, quickly and efficiently—and can guarantee you top notch performance for years to come.
Good cabling and network installation are critical for a reliable and secure network infrastructure. Whether it’s adding new lines or optimizing your current infrastructure, we can provide you with a wide variety of services that will meet your needs. We also offer effective equipment relocation to ensure maximum system performance while keeping downtime to a minimum. Contact us today to learn more about our cabling and network installation services! For businesses who want to take their networks further than just one location, network installation is required. The actual price depends on your particular setup, including how many computers you want connected and what type of equipment you want installed.
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how your phone works. You simply pick it up, push a few buttons and make calls or surf social media. Without giving it much thought, you can chat away on your iPhone 13 when inside an elevator—and that’s because phones are constantly using cell towers to stay connected and broadcasting their locations to nearby towers. The problem is that if there aren’t any cell towers in range or they become overloaded with traffic, your signal may be temporarily lost—and with it goes your service. One of the easiest ways to extend your cell signal is to install a cellular network extender, also known as a repeater. This type of hardware device plugs into your router and rebroadcasts your Wi-Fi signal using cellular data. In most cases, it extends your range in all directions—up, down, and sideways.
Phone boosters are easy to use and work well for most people, but there are a few things you should know before you buy one. First, make sure that your cell phone provider is compatible with your booster. Second, check out how many different phones and carriers it works with; some only support one or two different models or types of carrier (such as GSM). Third, note any limitations on range (some boost signals only within three rooms or two floors) and keep in mind that they don’t always increase data speeds beyond those provided by your provider. In general, though, these devices provide a fast and affordable way to get better reception inside your home. Let us help you get connected.
