From Mesh to Enterprise: Transforming Office Wi-Fi Performance
A growing Dubai business had a consumer mesh that could not keep up. We installed cabling, enterprise routing, and managed WiFi for stable performance across 60+ devices.
Key Results
Consistent speeds across every office, seamless roaming, and a remotely managed network that scales without rework.
The Challenge
A multi-room office relied on consumer mesh WiFi. Each wireless hop reduced bandwidth and increased latency.
Symptoms
Performance dropped with distance from the main router.
- Main office acceptable
- Second office inconsistent
- Third office unstable
Why it failed
Wireless backhaul and unmanaged hardware created a bottleneck.
- Bandwidth halved per hop
- No centralized management
- Troubleshooting by guesswork
The Hurst First Approach
Infrastructure first, then enterprise-grade hardware with wired backhaul for every access point.
Infrastructure First
Installed Cat6 cabling between offices using existing ceiling routes with minimal disruption.
- Clean routing
- Permanent backbone
- No surface trunking
Enterprise Core
UniFi Cloud Gateway and a 16-port UniFi Pro Max switch for centralized control and growth.
- Centralized routing
- Security controls
- Room to scale
Managed WiFi
Two WiFi 7 Pro access points with wired backhaul, optimized for high device density.
- Wired backhaul
- Seamless roaming
- Remote management
The Results
60 devices, two access points, zero performance drop-off.
Install cabling
Created a wired backbone between offices for consistent throughput.
Deploy enterprise core
Centralized routing, switching, and security controls.
Add managed WiFi
WiFi 7 Pro access points with wired backhaul and tuning.
Remote support
Resolved a channel conflict remotely in minutes without downtime.
Why This Matters
Wireless backhaul degrades with every hop
Each hop reduces bandwidth and adds latency. Wired backhaul fixes this instantly.
Enterprise management reduces downtime
Centralized monitoring and remote tuning solve issues without site visits.
Built-in expansion saves future cost
Proper switching and cabling make new offices easy to add without redesign.
