In summary
- Networks do not break down from one day to the next — they degrade little by little, and the team gets used to the bad.
- Three or more signs from this list mean that the network is costing money every day.
- Upgrading a network is today fast and non-stop — the hard part is deciding to look at the problem.
The 10 signs
- 1. The turn it off and on again ritual“ — if it's the company's official solution, the network would have asked for help long ago.
- 2. Dead zones known to all — “ali ao fundo não dá rede” is already part of the house culture.
- 3. Video calls that drop out on busy days — the network was not sized for hybrid working.
- The password has been the same for years — and everyone who has ever visited the company already has it.
- 5. Visits connect to the main network — there is no guest network; the company's data is just one password away.
- 6. Equipment purchased at the hypermarket — home routers and repeaters doing professional work.
- Nobody knows how to draw the network on paper — they grew up piecemeal and there is no documentation for anything.
- 8. The printer “disappears” from the network — classic symptom of a saturated or poorly segmented network.
- More speed was bought and nothing changed — because the bottleneck is in here, not with the operator.
- 10. When it fails, nobody is responsible — there is no monitoring, there are no alerts, there is no one to fix it.
