WIFI/Internet ? How many provide wifi or internet to your tenants? Anybody run cables to each site?

We did it as a value add on some multi-tenant properties for years. It helped for a long time. We could leverage $200/mo internet over 40 units. Saved them from having to buy a $30-$50/mo/unit account.

We used all Meraki equipment, but I’d likely use Ubiquiti these days. Not positive since I really haven’t used their stuff. It just seems good. Meraki is rock solid. Zero maintenance, but not cheap. Higher end equipment got speedy. Cisco owned now.

The issue was speeds got faster and equipment got more expensive. The higher faster radios don’t reach as far and there is a TON of noise these days. Everything has wireless built in it seems. It was also just internet.

We finally abandoned it and got setup with the local cable company on a bulk deal. Added it to rents. It still saves them $20-$30/mo/unit, so I’d see it as a value add still.

We don’t have to do any end-user support. The only issue is that you still have to pay for empty units.
