The areas reviewed during a network health check and the deliverables a business should expect.

What a Network Health Check Includes

A Network Health Check reviews how your office network is performing, where the risks are and what needs improving.

It is useful when staff are dealing with slow Wi-Fi, VPN problems, dropped connections or an old network that nobody fully understands.

What We Check

Internet Connection

We check whether the connection is stable and whether the speed is suitable for the business.

Wi-Fi

We review coverage, access point placement, signal strength and areas where staff are losing connection.

Firewall

We check whether the firewall is supported, secure and suitable for the number of users and internet speed.

Network Switches and Cabling

We look for faulty ports, poor cabling, overloaded links and equipment that may be causing slow or unreliable performance.

VPN and Remote Access

We review slow connections, dropped sessions, access rules and whether remote access is set up securely.

Network Security

We check for obvious risks such as outdated equipment, weak settings, poor network separation and unnecessary access.

Network Setup

We review how the network is arranged and whether it is easy to manage, support and grow.

What You Receive

After the check, you receive:

  • A clear summary of the main issues

  • The likely cause of current problems

  • A prioritised list of improvements

  • Advice on what can stay and what may need replacing

  • Clear next steps without unnecessary jargon

The aim is to give you a practical view of the network, not a long technical report.

When a Network Health Check Is Useful

A check may be worth arranging if:

  • Wi-Fi keeps dropping out

  • VPN access is slow or unreliable

  • Staff complain about network performance

  • Equipment is old or undocumented

  • The business is growing

  • You are moving office

  • You are unsure whether the current setup is secure
