Homeowners ask for CCTV covering the driveway and front door, and for wired access points in thick-walled houses.
- Existing configuration backed up before any change
- Every rule and VLAN recorded in a handover sheet
- Admin passwords changed from defaults and handed to you

Visiting sites in Mt Eden & Mt Albert
Most visits are to houses on suburban streets, so parking is generally straightforward. Dominion Road and Mt Eden Village shops have limited parking at busy times. Older homes may have low subfloors or tight ceiling spaces, which we check before planning any cabling through the house.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- The firewall has not had a firmware update since it was installed
- The only thing between the office and the internet is the router your provider posted out
- Nobody knows what port forwards or remote access rules are open
Before we arrive
- Your internet provider's account details and connection type
- A list of anything that must be reachable from outside, such as a camera recorder or accounting server
- Names of staff who work remotely and the devices they use
Pricing
Each firewall & network security job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
Firewall & Network Security in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: questions
Why is my Wi-Fi poor in an old stone or brick house?
Stone, brick and solid timber absorb wireless signal. The usual fix is to run a cable from the router to an access point in the part of the house that struggles, rather than adding more wireless extenders.
Do you help home-based businesses?
Yes. Many people in Mt Eden, Mt Albert and Sandringham run a business from home. We set up the office network, backups, printing and Microsoft 365 just as we would for a larger office.
Do you cover Mt Roskill and Three Kings?
Yes. We cover Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings and Mt Roskill, for homes and businesses. Let us know whether it is a house, a shop or an office, and where the router or comms cupboard sits.
Do you do firewall & network security in Mt Eden?
Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.
Is the router from my internet provider good enough?
For a home, often yes. For a business it usually lacks VLANs, proper VPN support, logging and firmware it can control. A dedicated firewall sits behind or replaces it and gives you control over what crosses the edge.
