A poor wireless network rarely fails by bad luck: it fails the day it is installed. All seven mistakes share one origin, skipping the coverage survey and the design.

For decision-makers short on time.
Unstable business Wi-Fi costs you every day: interrupted meetings, teams waiting and engineers called in to "see what is going on". Almost always, the problem was born on installation day. Networks that fail repeat the same seven mistakes, and all come from the same source, skipping the design phase. The rule that prevents them is short: measure before you buy, design before you install. Here are the seven, in the order they usually appear.
Wi-Fi is not bought off a shelf: it is designed. Design is what separates "there is Wi-Fi" from "the Wi-Fi works".
| Phase | Work | Mistakes solved |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement | Coverage survey carried out in the space as it really is | 1, 3 |
| Design | Network sized for the people and devices that actually exist, with segmentation and a channel plan | 4, 5, 6 |
| Installation | Professional equipment, placed where it should be | 2, 3 |
| Management | Monitoring, updates and a named owner | 7 |
Then it can be fixed. This is the method DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting applies to every business wireless network project, from a 10-person office to a 100-room hotel, with 1321 Ubiquiti devices and more than 138 sites under management. We take over networks installed by others every week: tell us what is happening with yours and receive a no-commitment recovery plan.
