Most small businesses don't think about their network until it fails at the worst possible moment. These five warning signs show up long before that.
1. Speeds dip at the same time every day. That usually means your equipment can't keep up with demand, not that your internet plan is too small.
2. Guests and staff share one Wi-Fi password. A separate guest network keeps your registers and files away from strangers' phones.
3. Nobody knows the router's admin password. If it's still the factory default, it's an open door.
4. Devices you don't recognize. An inventory of what's connected is the first step in any security review.
5. Your equipment is more than five years old. Older gear stops receiving security updates and can't handle modern speeds.
A free assessment takes about an hour and tells you exactly where you stand.
