Chicago, Cook County
Local know-how
Bungalow belts with brick + plaster killing Wi‑Fi
Two-flat units on separate ISP accounts needing a shared network
On the ground in Chicago
Chicago's northwest and west sides are dominated by classic Chicago-style bungalows, brick two-flats, and greystones — the exact kind of dense masonry construction that eats 5 GHz Wi‑Fi. We see a mix of remote-work home offices in Portage Park and Galewood, small storefront businesses along Belmont, Cicero, and Chicago Avenue in Belmont Cragin, and multi-unit two-flats in Austin where each floor is on its own ISP account. That's a different job than a suburban single-family in DuPage, and we bring the right gear (in-wall APs, PoE switches, MoCA over existing coax) instead of dropping in a stock mesh kit.
"Our Portage Park bungalow had a router in the front room and a dead zone in the back bedroom for years. Waypoint Tech ran a clean cable to a second access point in the attic — now the whole house and the garage office finally work. No sales pitch, just a real fix."
