Networking

Do your computers need to share?

Networking is an ever changing business. There are very secure, and very fast, wired networks. Which consist of one or more computer behind a router. This router allows you to share an Internet connection and allows computer to communicate, sharing files and playing games together.

Then there are wireless networks, which are slower and less secure, but offer the ability to have computer communicate from distances as far as several hundred feet with any cables. Wireless and Wired networks are almost the same, except wireless is slower and has to be secured before it can be used. An unsecured wireless network will allow any Joe-shmo walking down the street with a laptop to get on your Internet connection, then you could be responsible for any illegal activity he performs. All of my wireless setup plans come with a method of encryption to keep you safe from this worry. Every computer on the wireless network need s wireless card, if you do not have one, the setup cost will cover the installation and configuration, but the card will be $25 more for a desktop, and usually a little higher for a laptop (most laptops come with wireless preinstalled).

All of my hardware, as usual, comes with a one year parts and labor warranty. I stand behind all of my work 100%. If it stops working, don't hesitate to call.

Service Labor Price / Hardware Guess Description and Benefits
Free Wireless or Wired Setup $0 / $75 If you buy a new KiPCs Computer then you are automatically entitled to free network setup and wireless card installation. All you have to do is buy the hardware and I will set it up for free. Router is usually ~$50 and a Wireless card is ~$25/computer. So you do the math on your cost.
Wired Networking $30 / $60 Doesn't take much work to setup a Wired Network. I can probably get you started for less than $100. This will get two computers sharing the same Internet connection and sharing files and games between each other at high speeds.
Wireless Networking $50 / $75 This price is assuming that you need a wireless card installed in one or more of the machines. If all the machines already have wireless than the labor and hardware prices will both drop significantly. You will then only have to pay for the wireless router and configuration. (Setup includes securing it with an encryption so passers by can not use your Internet connection without your consent)
Business or Home Server $100 / $60 + Server Price This option will allow multiple computers to connect together with one computer acting as a server. I will setup and configure the server as a Web, Mail, File and Print sharing, FTP, VNC, and/or any other type of server you need it to be. This price includes getting the other computers to use it's services and showing you how to connect to it remotely to retrieve your files or use your computer from anywhere, anytime.
