Zwiegnet helps you upgrade from a basic ISP router to a real firewall appliance that gives you control and protection. We select the right hardware for your needs, install it properly between your modem and existing router (or replace it), configure security rules, set up safe features for kids/devices, and make sure your Wi-Fi and printers still work seamlessly. No complicated manuals — we do the tech work and explain it simply.
Our home firewall appliance setup services include:
- Appliance Selection & Hardware Setup – Recommend and install the best fit (Firewalla Gold/Purple, pfSense on Protectli/Netgate box, Ubiquiti Dream Machine, etc.) based on your home size, devices, and budget.
- Network Integration – Connect the firewall between your modem and current router (or replace the router entirely) with minimal downtime.
- Security & Threat Protection – Enable intrusion detection, malware blocking, DNS filtering (e.g., NextDNS or built-in), and automatic threat alerts.
- Parental Controls & Family Safety – Set time limits, block inappropriate sites, pause internet for kids’ devices, and monitor activity.
- Smart Home & IoT Isolation – Put cameras, doorbells, lights, and other smart devices on a separate network so a hacked bulb can’t reach your computer.
- Guest Network & VPN Setup – Create isolated guest Wi-Fi and set up secure VPN access for when you’re away from home.
- Monitoring & Easy Management – Install mobile apps or dashboards so you can check network status, block devices, or get alerts from your phone.
- Testing & Wi-Fi Compatibility – Ensure your existing Wi-Fi, printers, streaming devices, and gaming consoles work perfectly after setup; test speeds and connectivity.
- Free In-Home Consultation – We visit your home (free in Watertown), discuss your needs and concerns, recommend options, and provide clear pricing before starting.
Perfect for: parents wanting safer internet for kids, remote workers protecting work data, smart home owners worried about device security, families with multiple devices, or anyone who wants more control and peace of mind than a basic router provides.
