What is computer network installation — and when does an Auckland SMB need it?

Computer network installation is the full setup of an office or business network — cabling between desks, switch and router configuration, wireless access points, firewall, file sharing, and printer setup. You need it when you outgrow consumer WiFi (more than 5–8 active devices), are moving offices, are adding floors or sites, or are losing time daily to slow file-share, dropping WiFi, or printers that never quite work. Cabling For U installs computer networks for Auckland SMBs from 5 devices up to multi-floor 60+ desk fitouts — cabling, hardware, config, testing, and 12 months of remote support, all itemised in one written quote.

Common questions

Computer network installation FAQ

What is computer network installation?
Computer network installation is the full setup of an office or business network — cabling between devices, switch and router config, wireless access points, and printer/file-share setup. Cabling For U installs computer networks for Auckland SMBs from 5 devices up to multi-floor offices.
How much does it cost?
5-device small office: from $1,200. 10–20 device office: $2,400–$5,800. 20–60 device fitout with managed switch + WiFi 6 APs: $6,800–$18,000. Quote always includes cabling, hardware, configuration, testing, and 12-month support.
What hardware do you install?
We install Cat6/Cat6a cabling, gigabit unmanaged or managed switches (Ubiquiti, Cisco, MikroTik), business firewall/router (UniFi, MikroTik, Cisco Meraki), WiFi 6 access points, and patch panels. We can install hardware you supply, or supply and configure new gear — both options priced upfront.
How long does install take?
5-device small office: half day. 10–20 device office: 1–2 days. 20–60 device fitout: 1–2 weeks depending on cabling scope. After-hours or weekend installs available.
Do you do remote support after install?
Yes. Every install includes 12 months of remote support — password resets, new device onboarding, WiFi password rotation, switch port reassignment. Extendable as a monthly managed service after year one.
Can you take over an existing network?
Yes — the most common Auckland small-business job. We audit the existing network (cabling, switches, WiFi, firewall), document what is there, fix obvious issues, and take over support. Often cheaper than replacing kit that still has life in it.
Do you install WiFi as part of the network?
Yes. We install WiFi 6 access points, configure SSIDs, segment guest from staff, set up bandwidth limits, and test coverage. For larger offices we do a WiFi heat-map pre-install so we know exactly where APs go — not guesswork.
Do you support Mac, Windows, and mixed offices?
Yes. Most Auckland SMB offices we install for are mixed-platform — Mac for design/marketing, Windows for finance/admin. Printer sharing, file shares, and AD/Azure AD all configured to work cross-platform.
