Our office in Houston has been dealing with constant WiFi dropouts and dead zones, especially during peak hours when everyone's connected. We tried a basic home router setup at first, but it just couldn't handle the load from staff, POS systems, and guest devices all at once.
Ended up looking into proper Business WiFi Installation instead of just buying a stronger router. Turns out the real fix is a site survey first — checking signal strength, interference, and mapping dead zones — then placing access points properly instead of guessing. Also learned that separating staff and guest networks with VLANs makes a huge difference for security and speed.
We had a local company (Arctan Engineering) come do a proper wireless survey and install commercial-grade access points with PoE switches. Night and day difference in coverage and stability. If anyone else is dealing with dead zones, I'd recommend getting a proper site survey done rather than just adding another router.
Anyone else gone through this? What fixed it for you?
