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.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our Auckland cabling services, pricing and process. Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546.

How much does network cabling cost?

Pricing depends on the number of data points, cable type (Cat6 / Cat6a / fibre) and building complexity. We provide free site surveys and upfront fixed-price quotes — no hidden costs. Most extra Cat6 outlets start from $120 +GST. Call 0800 222 546 to book yours.

Do you charge for site surveys and quotes?

No — site surveys and quotes are free. Book online or call 0800 222 546 and one of our team will come to you, assess the job, and give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.

How long does a typical install take?

A standard residential or small-office install is usually completed in a single day — often same-day. Larger commercial or enterprise projects are planned with a clear timeline given before work begins, so you always know what to expect.

Are your technicians certified and licensed?

Yes. All installs are completed to TIA/EIA and AS/NZS 3080 standards, and any associated electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians. We are fully insured with $5M public liability cover.

What areas of Auckland do you service?

We service all of Auckland — Central, North Shore, West, East and South Auckland — plus the North including Orewa, Silverdale, Warkworth, Snells Beach and Mangawhai.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. Every cabling install is tested, documented and backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn't right after your install, we'll come back and fix it.

Cat6 vs Cat6a — which cable should I choose?

For most homes and small offices, Cat6 is more than enough — it handles gigabit speeds easily and is more affordable. Cat6a suits businesses running heavy data, future-proofing for 10-gigabit networks, or longer cable runs. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Auckland?

CCTV pricing depends on the number of cameras, indoor vs outdoor placement, recording method (NVR vs cloud) and cabling required. Most residential installs sit in the $1,500–$3,500 range, with commercial systems quoted on-site. Book a free survey on 0800 222 546.

Can you install fibre optic cabling for my business?

Yes — we install indoor and outdoor fibre including OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode for backbone runs, server rooms and inter-building links across Auckland. All terminations are tested and certified to AS/NZS standards.

Do you provide after-hours or emergency callouts?

Yes. Real people answer Mon–Sun, and we offer emergency callouts for downed networks, broken cabling, camera failures and business-critical outages. Call 0800 222 546 anytime.

Can you add data points to an existing home or office?

Absolutely — adding data points to existing buildings is one of our most common jobs. We minimise wall damage, label every cable and tidy patch panels so future changes are easy. Most retrofits are completed in a single visit.
