Firewall & Network Security in Ponsonby
Business firewalls, VLANs and VPNs configured and documented onsite.
Looking for firewall & network security in Ponsonby? We come to you anywhere in Central Auckland, including Grey Lynn and Herne Bay.
Network work in villas and shopfronts often means running cable under floors or through ceilings to reach a back office, putting a ceiling access point in a long hallway, or bringing order to a cupboard full of old switches. Cafes and bars want guest Wi-Fi kept separate from the till, and some add CCTV for the shopfront and back door.
- 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
Firewall & Network Security for businesses in Ponsonby
Ponsonby Road, the Great North Road shops in Grey Lynn and the Kingsland strip are lined with cafes, boutiques, design studios, agencies and small professional practices. Many work out of converted villas or rooms above shops, with a handful of staff and a mix of Mac and Windows machines. The common needs are point of sale that stays online, shared printing and file storage, and a network built properly rather than added to bit by bit.

Visiting sites in Ponsonby
Parking on narrow villa streets is tight, especially near Ponsonby Road on weekends, so a driveway or a quiet side street helps. Older homes often have limited ceiling space and low subfloors, which affects where cable can run, so we check both before pricing any cabling work.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- Security cameras, guest devices and staff PCs all sit on the same network
- Staff connect to the office from home with remote desktop over the open internet
- The firewall has not had a firmware update since it was installed
Before we arrive
- Names of staff who work remotely and the devices they use
- Admin logins for the current router or firewall, if you have them
- Your internet provider's account details and connection type
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 Ponsonby: questions
Can you improve Wi-Fi in an old villa?
Yes. Thick timber walls and long hallways weaken Wi-Fi in villas. We look at where the fibre comes in and usually run a cable to one or two well-placed access points rather than relying on plug-in extenders.
Do you help small businesses on Ponsonby Road and in Kingsland?
Yes. We cover Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Kingsland, Herne Bay, Westmere, St Marys Bay and the surrounding streets, for shops, cafes, studios and offices as well as homes.
Do you work on Macs?
Yes. We repair and set up Mac computers and laptops, and connect them to shared printers, file storage and the office network alongside any Windows machines.
Do you do firewall & network security in Grey Lynn?
Yes. We cover all of Ponsonby, including Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Westmere, Arch Hill, St Marys Bay, Kingsland.
Which firewall brands do you work with?
We commonly install Fortinet FortiGate, Ubiquiti UniFi and DrayTek Vigor, and we can work on most other business firewalls already in place. We suggest a model based on your internet speed, staff numbers and what needs remote access.
