About Slade Networks
We're a small, owner-operated networking company in the Finger Lakes. Every install is handled personally by Andrew — no subcontractors, no shortcuts, and no systems handed off without a proper walkthrough.
Our approach
Slade Networks designs, installs, and supports modern network infrastructure for homes and small businesses across the Finger Lakes. Most projects use UniFi for a single-pane dashboard across routing, switching, Wi-Fi, cameras, and VoIP — with documentation and configuration that stays maintainable long after the install is done.
Whether you're building from scratch or fixing coverage, reliability, or visibility issues, the approach is the same: proper planning, clean cabling and mounting, correct RF design, and predictable configs with sensible security defaults.
Built to last
Stable configs, clean physical installs, and sane update practices to reduce surprises.
Supportable
Clear labeling and documentation so changes and troubleshooting stay straightforward.
Security-minded
Network segmentation, least-privilege access, and practical hardening without added complexity.
Local and responsive
Finger Lakes–based, with clear communication and responsive scheduling throughout every project.
