Whole-Home Network installation in San Francisco, CA
A whole-home network means one planned system: structured cabling to the rooms that matter, access points for coverage everywhere else, and a single organized place where it all lands. It is the difference between adding devices over time and having infrastructure that absorbs them.

Local considerations
- Narrow three- and four-level homes are the norm, and vertical coverage is the hard part — one access point per level, wired where a chase exists, is the usual answer.
- Plaster and lath with wire mesh blocks Wi-Fi far more than drywall, which is why mesh systems often underperform here.
- Garage-level utility rooms make good rack locations and give a straightforward cable path up through the building.
Common home types here: Multi-level Victorians and Edwardians, Condos and flats, Garage-level offices.
What gets designed
- Structured Ethernet to offices, TVs, access points and cameras

How much does professional Wi-Fi installation cost?
Professional Wi-Fi installation is priced by the number of access points and how hard it is to run a cable to each one. The equipment is usually the smaller part of the bill; the cable pathway to each ceiling or wall location, and the time to place and tune the system, make up most of it.
