Issue with the local network in the house.

Issue:
The client reports that after renovations in one of the rooms, the internet wall outlet is not working.

Diagnosis:
It was discovered that during the renovation work, one of the cables feeding this outlet was damaged.
There was a “spaghetti” of network and TV cables inside the low-voltage panel.

Actions Taken:
The length of the existing cable allowed the damaged section to be cut out, and the outlet was re-terminated with an RJ45 module.
The old 100 Mbps network switch was replaced with a new 1 Gbps switch.
Minor cable management was performed.

Result:
The client now has a local network speed of 1 Gbps at this outlet.

65” Samsung Frame TV Installation

During the home renovation stage, a recessed mounting box and cable channels were pre-installed.
After the renovation was completed, it was finally time for the second stage — installing the TV.

All communication cables and power lines were routed completely out of sight, with additional spare connections included for future needs.

We were able to achieve exactly what the manufacturer intended — this TV truly looks like a piece of art! 🎨📺

Interesting fact:
You can set any image you like, and it will appear on the TV when it’s turned off — just like a real painting!

Issue:
The client, an RV park, experienced difficulties with WiFi coverage throughout the park.

Result:
The RV park now enjoys stable WiFi coverage throughout the area on 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and WiFi 6. The owner also possesses full monitoring and management capabilities for all connected devices.
