Network Setup in Wimbledon | PC Macgicians

For most home use, WiFi is sufficient. For offices, gaming, video editing, or where reliability is critical, wired connections are better. We often recommend a hybrid approach with wired connections where possible and WiFi for convenience.

Yes, we install ethernet cabling including running cables through walls, floors, and ceilings. We use Cat6 cable as standard which supports gigabit speeds and is future-proof for faster connections.

A router connects your network to the internet and manages traffic. A switch expands your network by adding more wired connection ports. Most homes need just a router, while offices often need switches too.

In Wimbledon, with its Edwardian detached homes and local character, we commonly see: • MacBook battery swelling in older MacBook Pros — common in 2015–2019 models and accelerated by Wimbledon's warmer summer conditions in south-facing rooms • Screen damage on laptops transported to King's College School and Ursuline High School — drops in bags and on hard floors are the most common cause • Slow iMacs and MacBooks that haven't been serviced since purchase — Wimbledon's longer-term homeowners hold onto premium devices longer, needing periodic performance work Local tip: Detached homes with two or three floors often need a mesh WiFi node per floor — a single router in the hallway won't reach the top floor study reliably
