1. Site Assessment
We walk the property (or review your building plans for new construction) to understand layout, construction materials, device density, and problem areas — not just count square footage.
Network Design & Installation
Professional Network Design & Ubiquiti Installation
Most Wi-Fi problems are not a hardware problem — they are a design problem. A single router in the wrong spot, an unmanaged switch overloaded with devices, or a mesh kit thrown at a coverage issue it was never built to solve can leave a property with unreliable connectivity. Wi-Fi Pros Network Consulting designs networks properly from the ground up and then installs them using Ubiquiti’s UniFi platform — enterprise-grade hardware at a price that makes sense for homes and small-to-mid-sized businesses. We serve residential and commercial clients across the greater Edmonton area, including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Devon, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, and surrounding rural properties.

Why Ubiquiti UniFi
We standardize on Ubiquiti’s UniFi ecosystem for the projects we design for a few practical reasons:
- One unified system. Access points, switches, gateways, and cameras all run under one management platform — no juggling five different apps and vendors.
- No forced subscriptions. Unlike many “prosumer” and enterprise systems, UniFi doesn’t lock core functionality behind recurring licensing fees.
- Scales with you. A UniFi network designed for a 3-bedroom home uses the same underlying platform as one designed for a multi-unit commercial building — it grows with your needs instead of requiring a rip-and-replace.
- Strong performance-to-cost ratio. UniFi delivers coverage, throughput, and reliability closer to true enterprise gear, without true enterprise pricing.
Our Network Design & Installation Process
2. Custom Design
We map out access point placement, switch locations, cabling runs, and network segmentation (like separating guest Wi-Fi, security cameras, and business/operational traffic) specific to your space.
3. Installation
Clean, professional installation — structured cabling where needed, properly mounted hardware, and a rack or equipment closet that’s tidy and labeled, not a tangle of cords.
4. Configuration & Testing
Every network is configured for your actual use case — VLANs for business networks, guest portals for retail or hospitality, QoS for VoIP and video calls — then tested for coverage and speed before we call it done.
5. Documentation & Handoff
You get clear documentation of what was installed and how to manage it, plus a walkthrough so you’re not left guessing.
Who We Design Networks For
Residential
Whole-home Wi-Fi coverage, multi-storey and multi-building properties, home offices, smart home device support, and elimination of dead zones — designed around how your household actually uses the internet.
Commercial
Retail, medical/dental offices, warehouses, professional offices, and hospitality. We handle guest network isolation, POS and payment terminal reliability, VoIP support, and networks that hold up under real business demands.
Rural & Acreage
Multi-building properties connected via Ubiquiti UISP wireless bridges or buried fibre, with full-property Wi-Fi coverage extended to shops, barns, and outbuildings. See our dedicated Rural & Acreage Connectivity page for details.
New Construction & Renovation
Pre-wiring and structured cabling planned in at the framing stage saves significant cost and hassle compared to retrofitting — we work with builders and homeowners to get this right before drywall goes up.
Common Network Problems We Fix
- Wi-Fi that works in one room and drops in the next
- Networks slowing to a crawl when multiple devices are active
- Business networks with no separation between guest and internal traffic
- Consumer mesh systems that can’t handle commercial-scale device counts
- Poor outdoor coverage on properties with detached buildings or large yards
- Legacy or failing equipment from a previous installer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need business-grade equipment for my home?
Not necessarily “business-grade,” but properly designed, yes. UniFi’s residential-appropriate hardware delivers a big step up from big-box routers without the cost of full commercial gear — we’ll recommend the right tier for your situation.
Can you work with the equipment I already have?
Often, yes. If you already have UniFi gear, we can usually expand or reconfigure your existing setup rather than starting from scratch. We’ll always tell you honestly when something’s worth keeping versus replacing.
Do you offer ongoing support after installation?
Yes — we offer support and maintenance plans for businesses that want ongoing monitoring and troubleshooting, as well as one-off service calls as needed.
How is this different from just buying a mesh Wi-Fi kit myself?
Consumer mesh kits are a generic, one-size-fits-all approach. We design around your specific space, separate traffic types properly, and use hardware built to run continuously under real load — plus you get a professional installation and someone to call when something needs adjusting.
What if running new Ethernet cable isn’t possible?
If a wall, floor, or finished ceiling makes new cabling impractical, we can often turn existing coax wiring into gigabit Ethernet with MoCA adapters — giving you a wired backbone to hardwire access points without opening up walls.
