Infrastructure that works

Stay connected, at the office and remote

When Wi-Fi drops, the server crawls, or remote staff can’t get in, the whole day stalls. At Network26, network and server work is practical: design it right, secure it sensibly, and keep it maintained, without an enterprise project team and a six-month timeline.

Most small offices don’t need a data-center redesign. They need coverage that reaches the back room, guest Wi‑Fi that doesn’t share the staff network, a firewall that isn’t still on factory defaults, and remote access that isn’t “open RDP to the internet.” Multi-site retail, clinics, and hybrid professional teams feel the gaps first when peak hours or home workers hit a flaky path.

We handle one-time upgrades and break-fix troubleshooting when that’s what you need, and we fold ongoing monitoring and maintenance into managed IT when you want fewer fire drills. Network design also pairs with cybersecurity and Microsoft 365 so hybrid work doesn’t mean open doors.

What's included

Core network & server capabilities

The infrastructure layer that keeps staff productive, onsite, hybrid, and remote.

Office Wi-Fi & network design

Coverage that actually reaches the back office, sane guest vs staff separation, and cabling/layout advice for new spaces or moves.

Server setup & maintenance

On-prem or small-business servers for file sharing, apps, and line-of-business tools, patched, documented, and backed up as part of a sensible plan.

Firewall & VLAN configuration

Boundary security and network segments so guests, staff, POS-adjacent devices, and servers aren’t sharing the same free-for-all trust model.

VPN & remote work enablement

Secure remote access for hybrid teams and after-hours work, without emailing passwords or exposing RDP to the open internet.

Troubleshooting & upgrades

Slow networks, flaky switches, aging hardware, ISP handoffs, we find the bottleneck and plan upgrades that match the budget you actually have.

Documentation & plain English

You’ll know what you have, how it connects, and what to do next, not a black box only one vendor can touch.

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

Project work or ongoing care

Fix what’s broken today, or keep infrastructure healthy as part of managed IT. Your call.

WITH MANAGED IT
Recommended

Infrastructure that stays maintained

  • · Monitoring and early warnings on critical gear
  • · Patch and firmware hygiene over time
  • · Help desk when staff can’t connect
  • · Predictable monthly pricing for the stack

See managed IT services.

PROJECT / BREAK-FIX

Available when you need it

  • · New office network or Wi-Fi overhaul
  • · Firewall swap, VLAN cleanup, VPN setup
  • · Server migration or retirement
  • ·“Everything is slow” troubleshooting visits

Pay for the work performed. We’ll say if ongoing care would cost less than another emergency later. Projects & break-fix →

BUILT FOR SMBs

Who this is for

If downtime, dead zones, or insecure remote access cost you real money, infrastructure deserves deliberate care.

Retail & multi-location

Floor ops, POS-adjacent offices, and sites that can’t pause when Wi‑Fi or the office link fails at peak hours.

Offices with aging gear

Slow switches, consumer routers doing double duty, or a “server” that’s really a dusty tower under a desk.

Hybrid & remote teams

VPN and remote access that work without exposing the whole office network to the open internet.

Moves & new spaces

New office build-outs, cabling advice, and day-one connectivity so staff aren’t setting up on cell hotspots.

How we help

RETAIL / MULTI-LOCATION

Wi‑Fi and onsite support that hold up when the floor is busy

Network design, workstation projects, and remote help for ops that can’t pause at peak hours.

PROPERTY / HYBRID

Hybrid access for teams between office and properties

Secure remote access, Microsoft 365, and help desk so field staff stay with tenants, not ticket queues.

FAQ

Network & server questions

What does network and server administration include?

Office Wi-Fi and network design, server setup and maintenance, firewall and VLAN configuration, VPN and remote work enablement, and troubleshooting or upgrades when performance drops.

Do you only fix networks as a one-time project?

No. We do projects and break-fix when that fits, and we also maintain networks and servers under managed IT so issues are caught early.

Can you help with hybrid and remote access?

Yes. We set up VPN and remote access so staff can work securely from home or satellite sites without exposing the office network unnecessarily.

Should we replace aging gear or reconfigure what we have?

It depends. We start with what’s actually failing or unsafe, then recommend reconfiguration, targeted upgrades, or replacement based on risk and budget, not a full rip-and-replace by default.
