A serious problem affecting tech startups is rarely talked about, and it’s time for that to change. I’m talking, of course, about the epidemic of crappy office Wi-Fi and networks. Too many young companies continue to limp along on consumer-grade network equipment, hoping that their AirPort Extreme router and $100 Best Buy switch will hold out until they can afford to hire an “IT Guy”. I’m hoping that by walking through what we did at Flywheel, someone else will have a better resource when it’s time for their own network upgrade than I did.
