Yesterday my local access account with Rainier Connect went down; all I got was a 404 page with a…read moredog on it. I called Rainier Connect and after a couple of minutes talking with a technician he said since my wireless company was Century Link he couldn't help me and to call another number. I simply thought it was another department within Rainier Connect; wrong. It turned out to be Whisler Communications. Shane answered the phone and after I explained my problem; even though I am not a customer, he took over my computer and fixed the problem. Shane was professional, courteous, friendly, and in 10 minutes I was back up and running. I live in Scottsdale, AZ and will probably never use his company, but I would highly recommend his services to anybody who lives in his operating area. He picked up the phone, no transfers to somebody else and solved my issue. Thank you Shane for a job well done. Bob gooding@localaccess.com

His response was very fast, thorough, and super helpful. Would definitely do business here again if the opportunity arises!

I'd recommend Shawn to anyone: his knowledge, efficiency, customer engagement, and outcomes…read moredelivered are outstanding. He's a networking and IT superstar. Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

After just a couple emails with Dave, I had the installation scheduled and a corporate account setup. The day-of I was greeted with a smile as the door was opened for me and the installer was ready to go after doing a quick briefing of what and where I wanted the components. My plan was to wait out the install in one of the chairs by the front door and take care of my daily company paperwork. I was invited to use a table and chair with their guest wireless connection without hesitation. The hospitality and service before the day-of install was 5-star alone. The installation took the projected duration and the quality of install exceeded my expectations. The power cable was loomed and run parallel to a OEM bundle and sealed at the firewall with a proper fuse in place. All cables were tucked in and run under the carpet and panels with no exposure. Antenna mount was in a harmonic of the UHF frequency range from the rear of the cab for a good ground-plane and low SWR. The x-ceiver was mounted under the rear seat in the storage compartment in a location allowing for maximum use of the area and well secured with bolt and nut (not just screwed into a panel). I am very pleased Day Wireless installed equipment they did not sell to me, even though it is one they carry. My career as a firefighter, I have seen some outstanding installations in our apparatus and some not so great. I have been a HAM for 22 years and seen the same range of quality of installations. The quality in my truck from Day is definitely at the top of the list. I will return for additional installations and refer to others.

Over the years, as someone whose hobby is two way radio, I have installed a lot of two way radios…read moreinto a lot of vehicles. But as the years have passed two things have happened. The first of which is the fact that modern cars have become much more complicated and less forgiving to work on. For example my car has 10 airbags. If you get thing wrong working around an airbag you can either accidentally set it off, or, much worse, if you run a cable in the way of the airbag, it can end up killing someone rather than saving their life. The second thing that has happened over the years is that I have become older, fatter and lazier. So when I recently bought a used Chevy Volt, and wanted to install my two way radio, I chose to outsource the job. First I asked for an estimate from a auto stereo shop. That place quoted me a price that was WAY out of line, and at the same time inadvertently made it clear to me that they had no idea of how to install a two way radio and its related antenna. So I decided to go with the pro's. I checked with local law enforcement agencies to see who did their installs. I learned that it was Day Wireless Systems. I called Day's Lacey shop and described what I needed done. They gave me a quote which was less than a 1/4th of what that auto stereo shop wanted to charge me, and Day's people install 2 way radios for a living. I had no doubt that they would do it right. And do it right they did. It was a beautiful job. My hat is off to Dave, who did the install. It is awesome work. Thanks Dave, and thanks to the rest of the staff at Day Wireless System in Lacey!

The pros at Connect&Protect are the real deal!…read more I wanted 24h security cameras installed and evaluated a few companies and pros. Here's what set them apart: - Responsive and generous with advice on my home security needs even before hiring - Flexible planning and open to feedback. We had a good plan after an initial walkthrough, but even as I changed my mind a couple of times, they were open to discussion and iterating on a final plan with me - Competitive pricing The actual install itself was impeccable. High quality drilling, great wire management. If I had hired a handy man, this is where the work would have ended. But we ran into a complication with networking and the pros at Connect&Protect were able to effectively troubleshoot and fix it. It was a great experience end-to-end. It's clear that the folks at Connect&Protect cares about their customers and truly enjoy their craft. Highly recommended!

I booked this company in early June through an app called "Thumbtack" to install cable drops from my router to my office. After not hearing a response for a couple of days, I should have taken this as a sign, but I called the company to see what the hold up was. My phone call was returned-- and after a polite conversation with the owner, Khalil scheduled me for the 28th of June. between 10 am - 7pm. After about 12 noon, I didn't get a call from anyone so I called, and they said they would see where the tech was, and would call me back. After a few hours, I got a call back from the company and they told me they wouldn't be able to make it-- but had an opening on the 4th of July, and they could get me in. I was skeptical with it being a holiday, but they assured me that they would be there. Well, the 4th came and went, and not only did they not show up, I couldn't get in touch with ANYONE to figure out what was going on. The following Monday, I was called by the company after I left a message to figure out what happened. The owner eventually called me back-- and he apologized profusely and gave me some discounts to things and promised he would reduce my price. I gave him the benefit of the doubt.. (I know) But said he could be out there on Friday, July 18th. Between 10-5pm. As you can probably see, by noon, I got a message from the owner that he was stuck at a job and if he couldn't make it, could we change it again to 22nd of July. I told him that if he couldn't make it, then I would want a refund. I decided to cancel as it continually shows that I am not a priority. I was promised that I would be the first customer first thing on the 18th, but it has shown that he has put me on the back burner again. I also had to call each time, and it took forever to receive any service. I would highly suggest anyone considering them to read this post and be aware. I am currently waiting for a refund that was supposed to take 2 weeks, but they offered a cashier's check, which I accepted. Please don't book this company for any work if you value your money or your time.

He made a comment about taking our phones off WiFi to save bandwidth which I thought was a little odd since our former company was able to handle all connections with ease. As we started to use the system it started dropping the internet at random times and when it was connected it would take forever to load a chosen website. I called on Friday morning to find out what the problem might be and discussed the issues with a lady who created a "trouble ticket" and told me someone would be in contact. After waitng all day with no call and no one showing up I fought the problems but no matter what I did the system continued to act up so I disconnected their equipment and reinstalled my old system that thankfully was still active. Later I found a message on my phone from someone telling me to try shutting off the power to the modem and turning it back on to see if that helped. Since I had tried that several times I just ignored the message but I would think tech support might have at least sent someone instead of just calling and leaving a message.
