Your small business network is crucial to the daily function of your business. If the network malfunctions, it can cripple your business for however long it’s down. There are many things that can cause a network to stumble, here are just a few of the more common mistakes that business owners make with their networks.
Every Update is Important
After the initial setup, many business owners just forget about their network until something goes wrong. Downloading and installing every update is crucial to your network’s security and function. If you just leave things as they are, it may function for a time but it will eventually get so slow that it will hinder productivity. Those updates contain software that optimizes your network and makes it work for you. Your network should support your business, not inconvenience you.
