Networking & Wi-Fi in Scranton
Lake properties are hard on networks: long distances between buildings, stone and log construction that eats signal, and internet service that ranges from fiber to a single bar of LTE. Coverage here is a design problem, not a matter of buying a bigger router.
Historic borough and in-town housing
Plaster with wire lath is close to a Faraday cage, and older homes are full of it. Coverage in these houses is a placement problem: one access point per floor, sited by where the walls actually are rather than by square footage. Where fishing a wire between floors is impractical, we use existing coax or a chase rather than opening the ceiling.
Local conditions
What this looks like in Scranton.
The housing here
Dense, older, and architecturally significant in places. Plaster, transoms, and original trim mean wireless-first solutions and careful, minimal-damage pathways.
Connectivity
Good service across most of the city including fiber in many neighborhoods, which makes ambitious systems practical.
Why owners here buy it
Primary residences and businesses. Whole-home audio, media rooms, networking, and camera systems, with almost none of the seasonal freeze concern that drives the lake towns.
Communities we work in
- Green Ridge
- Hill Section
- Minooka

Scope
What is included.
From $1,800
A typical whole-property network with three or four access points runs $2,500 to $7,500. Detached buildings and fiber runs add to that.
- UniFi or Araknis access points placed from a real coverage plan
- Wired backhaul to every AP — never a mesh repeater if we can pull a wire
- Managed switch and rack, cleanly terminated and labeled
- Separate guest and IoT networks so a renter never touches your devices
- Cellular or Starlink failover for houses on unreliable service
- Remote monitoring so we see an outage before you do
Questions
Networking questions from Scranton homeowners
Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.
Do you install networking & wi-fi in Scranton?
Yes. Scranton is part of our regular service area and we work throughout Lackawanna County, including Green Ridge, Hill Section, Minooka. We are based in Pocono Pines, so this is work we do ourselves rather than subcontract.
Can you get Wi-Fi to the dock or the garage?
Yes. Usually with direct-burial Cat6 or a fiber run to an outdoor-rated access point. Point-to-point wireless is the fallback when trenching is not realistic.
What internet service is available up here?
It varies street by street. Fiber where it has been built out, cable in the developments, fixed wireless and Starlink where neither reaches. We will tell you what is actually available at your address before you commit to systems that depend on it.
