Professional Networks.
Personal Accountability.
Slade Networks designs, installs, and supports network infrastructure for businesses and homes across the Finger Lakes — using commercial-grade equipment, a consistent process, and a standard that holds long after the install is done.
Andrew Slade
Founder
Andrew founded Slade Networks after seeing too many businesses and homes in the Finger Lakes stuck with unreliable networks and no qualified local option to turn to.
He graduated from St. Bonaventure University with a degree in Computer Science and holds a Cisco CCNA certification. His focus has always been practical, real-world networking — the kind that performs on day 300 the same way it did on day one.
What every project is held to
These aren't aspirational — they're the baseline for every job, from a single access point to a full commercial install.
Commercial gear, sourced direct
Equipment is purchased straight from Ubiquiti — no gray-market hardware, no inflated reseller pricing. You get the same commercial-grade UniFi gear used in enterprise deployments.
Written quote before any work begins
A detailed plan and fixed cost upfront. No scope changes happen without your approval, and no surprise line items appear on the final invoice.
Full admin access is yours, always
Your network belongs to you. Every project is documented, labeled, and handed off with complete admin credentials — no ongoing dependency on Slade Networks to make changes.
Every project follows the same clear process — free on-site visit, written quote, clean install, and a full walkthrough before we leave. No obligation at any step.
