Barbados · IT consulting & home networking

Networks that just work — and homes that run themselves.

246 Network Services designs and builds the network your business runs on — and the 246 Hub, a small box that automates your smart home and puts your photos and passwords back under your own roof.

What we do for businesses

Four ways we keep your office online

Design & deploy

Network design & deployment

Structured, documented networks — proper subnetting, segmented WiFi, and hardware sized for what your office actually needs, not oversold.

Self-healing, mostly

Network automation

Automated checks and failover rules built into the network itself, so small hiccups get handled on their own before they turn into a call to us.

On call

IT consulting & support

From a single stubborn printer to planning next year's office move — a working relationship with someone who already knows your setup.

Locked down

Security hardening

Firewalls configured with intent, no exposed ports, and remote access that goes through encrypted tunnels instead of forwarded ports.

Built to last

Structured cabling

Clean cable runs and labelled patch panels, so the next person who opens the comms cabinet doesn't need to call us to understand it.

Peace of mind

Backup & recovery planning

Configs, VMs, and critical files backed up on a schedule you don't have to think about, with a documented recovery plan if the worst happens.

The product

One small box. Five subscriptions cancelled.

The 246 Hub runs in a closet or on a shelf and quietly does the jobs you're currently paying five different companies for — with everything staying on your own network.

  • Smart home controlLights, locks, sensors and cameras from one app — automations keep running even if your internet drops.
  • Whole-home ad & tracker blockingEvery device on the WiFi is covered automatically — nothing to install on phones or laptops.
  • One screen for everythingA single glanceable screen shows what's online, what's not, and what needs attention.
  • New-device alertsGet notified the moment an unrecognized device joins your home WiFi.
  • Private photo backupComing soon
    Auto-backup with face recognition and a timeline view — your photos never leave the house.
  • Private password managerComing soon
    Your own vault, compatible with the password manager apps you already use.

Why 246

Built by people who run this stack on their own network, every day

246 Network Services is based in Barbados. Everything we install for clients — the automation, the network design, the remote access — we run on our own homelab first.
