Business network installation · Fort Worth & DFW
Computer Pro Network installs and organizes business networks for small and mid-sized companies throughout Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. We install network cabling, racks, switches, firewalls, wireless access points and other network equipment, and we can clean up existing network closets that have become difficult to maintain.
Our projects can also include cable labeling, patch-panel organization, equipment documentation, before-and-after photography, and a professional network closeout report so your business has a clear record of its network infrastructure. When a closet is already a tangle, network room cleanup and cable management is its own service: we organize, label, and document the rack so the next failure can be traced.
What we do
Computer Pro Network is a Fort Worth, Texas IT company that provides onsite network installation for small and mid-sized businesses. These are the network services we perform:
In short: Computer Pro Network installs structured network cabling, network racks and network equipment for businesses in Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, cleans up and labels existing network closets, and documents the finished work. Messy cabling is a fire and heat hazard, a troubleshooting nightmare, and usually a sign the network has not been maintained. Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees use residential pricing; larger network projects are quoted separately before work begins. For medium and enterprise businesses with 50 or more employees, standard network room cleanup and cable organization are billed at $100 per hour, per technician. Advanced server, firewall, migration, and network configuration work is billed at $125 per hour, per technician. Equipment and cabling materials are additional. The applicable rate is confirmed before work begins.

Network installation services
Whether you are opening a new office, adding workstations, or fixing a network closet nobody wants to touch, these are the four parts of a typical project.
We install Ethernet and Cat6 network cabling from your network rack to the places your business needs a wired connection, terminate each run on a patch panel and a wall or ceiling jack, and label both ends. Cabling runs can serve:
Spare drops can be added for future growth so a new desk does not require a new cable project.
We install and organize the rack that holds your network together—and the equipment inside it—so everything is mounted, powered, patched and easy to reach:
We work with the equipment you already own or the hardware recommended by your IT provider.
Messy cabling is a fire and heat hazard, a troubleshooting nightmare, and usually a sign the network has not been maintained. We improve existing network closets by:
We inspect the closet before quoting. Old cabling is removed only after it is confirmed unused and you approve it. See why cable management matters.
Most installers leave when the last cable is plugged in. We can leave you a written record of what was installed and where it is. When documentation is included in the project scope, completed projects can include:
Network room cleanup
Messy cabling in a business network closet is a fire and heat hazard, a troubleshooting nightmare, and usually a sign the network has not been maintained. Clean cable management means faster fixes, safer hardware, and a rack that still makes sense when a cable or device has to be traced or replaced.
A rack that grew one patch cable at a time creates three problems at once.
Computer Pro Network provides network room cleanup and cable management for small and mid-sized businesses in Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. A typical cleanup includes:
Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees use residential pricing; larger network projects are quoted separately before work begins. For medium and enterprise businesses with 50 or more employees, standard network room cleanup and cable organization are billed at $100 per hour, per technician. Advanced server, firewall, migration, and network configuration work is billed at $125 per hour, per technician. Equipment and cabling materials are additional.

Network documentation
A network installation shouldn't end when the last cable is connected. When documentation is included in the project scope, Computer Pro Network provides professional project documentation showing installed equipment, network locations, cabling, photographs and other important project information. This gives owners, managers and future IT providers a useful record of the completed network infrastructure.
Documentation is especially useful when you change IT providers, add staff, move desks, or need to find which patch-panel port feeds a specific office or access point.
How it works

Residential customers and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees use the same flat-fee pricing. Most standard onsite visits include a $20 trip fee plus $80 per device; remote support is $80 per session for many software and troubleshooting jobs. Parts, data recovery, advanced diagnostics, and larger projects may be quoted separately before work begins. Hourly rates apply only to medium and enterprise businesses with 50 or more employees. For those businesses, standard onsite IT support is $100 per hour, per technician, with a one-hour minimum and 15-minute billing increments after that. Standard remote IT support is $80 per hour, with a 30-minute minimum ($40) and 15-minute billing increments after that. Advanced server, firewall, migration, or network configuration is $125 per hour, per technician. After-hours, weekend, or holiday onsite support is $150 per hour, per technician. After-hours, weekend, or holiday remote support is $120 per hour. One applicable rate is confirmed before work begins, and specialty and after-hours rates are not stacked. Equipment, parts, software licenses, and materials are billed separately. For hourly engagements, project estimates describe a labor range; the final labor charge follows actual time worked. Optional managed IT plans remain separate written monthly agreements.
A project estimate can describe the expected scope and labor time for a network installation.
Yes. Computer Pro Network installs Ethernet network cabling for small and mid-sized businesses in Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. Typical runs serve workstations, offices, printers, VoIP phones, wireless access points, conference rooms and network equipment.
Every project starts with a site visit or a detailed walkthrough so we can plan cable paths, drop locations and where the runs terminate in your network rack.
Yes. Cat6 is the cable we install for most business network drops. It supports Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for devices such as access points, VoIP phones and cameras.
If your building, equipment or future plans call for a different cable category, we discuss it during the site visit before anything is quoted.
Yes. We install wall-mounted and floor-standing network racks and mount the equipment that goes in them, including patch panels, network switches, firewalls, routers, UPS battery backups and rack power distribution units (PDUs).
We also patch the switches to the patch panels and organize the cabling so the rack is easy to work on later.
Yes. A messy network closet is a fire and heat hazard, a troubleshooting nightmare, and usually a sign the network has not been maintained. Computer Pro Network cleans up existing network closets in Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex by organizing and bundling cabling, rerouting cable where appropriate, identifying and labeling network runs, organizing patch panels, and improving access to network equipment.
Old or abandoned cabling can be removed when it is confirmed unused and the removal is approved by you. We inspect the closet first, so the scope is based on what is actually there.
Messy cabling in a business network closet is a fire and heat hazard, a troubleshooting nightmare, and usually a sign the network has not been maintained. Cables blocking vents trap heat around switches, servers, and UPS units. Damaged jackets and power strips buried on the floor are harder to inspect.
Unlabeled runs make a failed phone, printer, camera, or access point slow to trace, and pulling the wrong cable can take something else offline. Clean cable management means faster fixes, safer hardware, and a setup that can be traced or replaced.
Computer Pro Network network room cleanup in Fort Worth includes identifying which cable runs are still live, dressing and bundling patch cables, labeling cables, jacks, and patch-panel ports, restoring airflow and physical access around switches, firewalls, servers, and UPS units, and removing abandoned cable only after it is confirmed unused and you approve it.
When documentation is included in the project, the finished closet is photographed and added to a network closeout report. Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees use residential pricing; larger network projects are quoted separately before work begins. For medium and enterprise businesses with 50 or more employees, standard network room cleanup and cable organization are billed at $100 per hour, per technician. Advanced configuration is $125 per hour, per technician. Equipment and cabling materials are additional. The applicable rate is confirmed before work begins.
Yes. We install business wireless access points, including the Ethernet cabling that feeds each access point and the PoE switch ports that power them. We plan access point locations around your floor plan and the devices your staff actually use, and we document where each access point is installed.
Yes. We can identify existing network runs, match wall jacks to patch-panel ports, and label cables, jacks and patch panels so your staff or IT provider can trace a connection without guessing. Labeling can be done as its own project or as part of a network closet cleanup.
Yes. Completed projects can include a network closeout report with equipment information, network and access point locations, cable and port identification, rack photos, and before-and-after photos.
The report gives owners, managers and future IT providers a clear record of the network infrastructure that was installed.
Yes. We regularly work alongside managed service providers (MSPs) and in-house IT staff. We can handle the onsite cabling, rack and equipment installation while your IT team manages configuration, or we can coordinate the full installation with them.
MSPs and IT companies can also use our IT field service partner services for onsite work in DFW.
Yes. We install networks for new offices, suites and office expansions, including cabling, the network rack, switches, firewall, Wi-Fi access points and documentation. Planning early—before furniture and ceilings are finished—usually makes the installation cleaner and less disruptive.
We are based in Fort Worth, Texas and install business networks throughout Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. Scheduling for a specific project depends on location and scope. See our DFW service area.
For IT managers and MSPs
Network and office IT setup covers business Wi-Fi, routers, switches, new-office connectivity, and coordination so Fort Worth teams can work on day one. Opening a second location off Camp Bowie, expanding into a flex suite near DFW Airport, or rewiring a decades-old professional building downtown forces decisions about VLANs, PoE budgets, Wi‑Fi density, ISP handoffs, and VoIP readiness before the first employee sits down. We scope those projects alongside business IT support—so you are not stuck with consumer gear handling fifty phones on day three.
We work with your landlord, general contractor, or MSP partner when needed; we do not pretend one brand fits every corridor layout in Arlington high-rises or single-story flex spaces in Haltom City. Configuration can be done onsite, or remotely for cloud and firewall settings when appropriate. Same-day service may be available for troubleshooting depending on schedule, location, and the service need; installation projects are scheduled after the site visit.
ISP modem mode vs router mode, static IP availability, existing DHCP scopes, printer VLAN requirements, camera NVR placement, UPS runtime targets, and whether Microsoft 365 sign-in traffic must bypass SSL inspection. We photograph rack conditions and note heat load when closets double as network rooms—common in older Fort Worth office stock.
We map RSSI, channel overlap, minimum data rates, and roaming thresholds for the devices you actually deploy—handheld scanners, iPads on carts, VoIP handsets—not just laptops. Dense stucco and mirrored retail fronts in DFW suburbs often need additional APs rather than louder antennas.
We size PoE budgets for phones, cameras, and access points; configure LLDP-MED where helpful; and document voice VLAN tagging for your carrier. When fax analog lines still exist in medical offices, we note ATA placement and QoS policies.
We stage DHCP reservations, DNS forwarders, and firewall rules in maintenance windows. Example: a Keller services firm moved ISPs on Friday night; we preloaded NAT rules, verified VPN entry, and kept a rollback checklist to the old modem until Monday traffic proved stable.
Network segmentation supports security baselines; guest SSIDs should never route to file shares. We coordinate MFA rollout impacts with email and Microsoft 365 admins when conditional access changes how staff authenticate on-site.
Handoffs include labeled patch panels, exported configs, and recommended monitoring through managed IT services. For pricing context, see IT support pricing.
Many Fort Worth offices run phones over the same cable modem as guest Wi‑Fi. We implement DSCP marking where supported, separate VLANs, and realistic QoS expectations—because consumer-grade gear cannot magically fix upstream congestion on Camp Bowie during peak hours.
Metal racking and high-bay ceilings in Alliance-area warehouses wreck omnidirectional AP plans. We discuss directional antennas, mesh vs controller-based designs, and cable pathways before mounting hardware that will need relocation in six months.
We place iDRAC or IPMI interfaces on management-only VLANs, replace default passwords, and discuss cellular out-of-band when a downtown Fort Worth circuit drop would otherwise mean a truck roll just to see POST errors.
Multicast discovery from Crestron, Biamp, or Teams Room appliances can flood undersized switches. We coordinate IGMP snooping and isolation with your AV integrator so quarterly board meetings stop losing touch panels mid-presentation.
Fort Worth branches that bolt on LTE backup without session awareness still drop VoIP mid-call. We discuss SD-WAN features, costs, and whether your apps tolerate asymmetric routing—then document the failover test you will rerun after ISP maintenance windows.
TLS break-and-inspect on guest networks often breaks Teams, Outlook modern auth, and Intune enrollment. We carve exceptions responsibly, pair with email and 365 admins, and avoid “inspect everything” defaults that create helpdesk whack-a-mole.
Firewall and switch OS bumps during business hours strand Fort Worth front desks when SIP re-registrations storm. We schedule maintenance, snapshot configs, and verify RTP pinholes with your carrier before and after the bounce.
Historic downtown office closets and strip-mall IDFs regularly exceed safe switch temps. We log thermal trends, recommend ventilation or mini-split referrals, and move PoE-heavy loads off overloaded units before summer brownouts.
Unmanaged switch stacks in West 7th lofts and Near Southside creative offices cause micro-loops and broadcast storms that look like “bad Wi‑Fi.” We map spanning tree, replace bottlenecks with correctly sized uplinks, and label aggregation groups so the next upgrade does not orphan half your VLANs.
Permit requirements depend on the project scope, building, and local jurisdiction. For projects involving new construction, remodeling, wall modifications, or work requiring a permit, we confirm the applicable requirements before work begins and coordinate responsibilities with the customer, property manager, general contractor, or other licensed trades when necessary.
Yes for most cutovers affecting payroll, VoIP, or ERP—schedule windows in advance.
Yes, aligned with your risk tolerance and MFA posture.
We discuss why flat networks often hurt security, then implement controlled routing if business reasons truly require it.
Yes—future you will thank present us when adding a new AP or phone model.
We run throughput, DHCP lease checks, representative VoIP test calls, and client VPN sign-ins from inside and outside the LAN.
A router moves packets; a firewall enforces policy between zones. Many SMB appliances combine both, but the policy layer is what stops lateral movement.
Often yes—IoT-class printers should not sit on the same broadcast domain as workstations handling wire transfers.
Usually no—broadcast domains that large become painful to troubleshoot; routed segments with room to grow age better.
Rarely at SMB scale—most work is static routes, HA pairs, and proven dual-WAN designs.
We verify whether IPv6 anomalies affect certain SaaS apps and document stable dual-stack or IPv4-only postures per site.
Yes via dedicated switches or strict QoS—retail cutovers are scheduled after closing when possible.
We document usable IPs, gateway, and reverse DNS expectations for mail flow.
When supported—light touch thresholds that alert instead of silently black-holing traffic.
Usually no—segment physically or with strict ACLs to contain a compromised web server.
