The router is in the wrong place
Usually wherever the cable entered the house — a cupboard in the corner. Moving it, or feeding an access point from it, fixes more problems than new hardware.
Wi-Fi problems are almost always one of these four, and only one of them is fixed by buying a faster router.

A single router cannot cover a spread-out single storey home. Two or three well-placed access points will, and they hand devices over cleanly.
Wireless mesh nodes that are themselves out of range just repeat a weak signal. Wired backhaul turns the same kit into a completely different network.
Phones, TVs, cameras, thermostats, printers. A network built for four devices is now serving forty and nobody told it.
We walk the building with a survey tool and find out where the signal actually falls over, rather than assuming. Half the time the answer is not more equipment — it is one access point in the right ceiling, fed with a cable.
For businesses we do the same thing at a different scale: coverage for the whole floor, a separate guest network, and equipment that can be managed remotely when something needs changing.

Connecting all of our iMac computers to a wired network was the best thing I could’ve done for our business, and I’m glad I had Kalieb do it, because our set up required sending wires and routers to multiple rooms in a large building. The Wi-Fi just wouldn’t reach all the rooms. Everything is so much faster now.

Excellent service. Called Kalieb Designs around 10 in the morning to inquire about their TV mounting services. He was very quick to respond and was able to come in to set up my TV and sound bar the same day. Work done is very professional and neat; definitely satisfied with the results. Price is also reasonable. Highly recommended!

Kalieb and his helper showed up to hang five TVs and run the power for each. These guys showed up on time, bright and early. One of my mounts would not work so he had one on his truck, and he even ran an extra plug from a different bedroom for my daughter’s room. It’s been almost two weeks, not one problem, everything looks great and it’s square.
Occasionally, and usually not well — an extender rebroadcasts whatever signal it receives, halving throughput in the process. A wired access point in the same spot costs a bit more and works properly.
For the best result, yes — one cable to each access point. Where that is impossible we will design around it, but we will be straight with you about the trade-off.
Yes. Outdoor coverage is usually one weatherproof access point or a well-aimed indoor one. Bakersfield summers are hard on equipment, so it needs to be rated for it.
Yes — offices, retail, studios and warehouses. See our structured cabling and IT support pages for the rest of what that involves.
