“🏕️ Rangeley Lakeside Cabins Homeowners Association oversees a cluster of seasonal cabins on the shores of Rangeley Lake, Maine. Responsible for keeping dozens of properties online and secure, they needed a reliable IT partner to protect their tech year-round.”

The Problem

When a snowstorm hit, the HOA’s network went down hard. No one could figure out why or how to get it back online. Their brick firewall failed, leaving dozens of cabins offline and no visibility into the problem.

For a community relying on Wi-Fi for smart locks, entertainment, and communication, it was a full-blown crisis.

• ❌ Total internet blackout across the property
• 🧱 Failed brick firewall and no documentation of the network setup
• 🧭 No in-house IT knowledge to get services restored

“It was a nightmare. We had no internet, no answers, and no idea who to call. Until someone recommended Ekim.” – Rangeley Lakeside Cabins Staff

What We Did

We responded quickly with boots on the ground and a plan to make sure this never happened again.

Here’s how we helped:

• 🔁 Replaced the failed router on-site using gear from our emergency stock
• 🌨 Reconfigured the network to restore service to every cabin despite blizzard conditions
• 📶 Improved performance across the entire network with fresh cabling and proper setup
• 📋 Documented the network layout for faster troubleshooting in the future
• 🤝 Became their trusted IT partner for long-term support and rapid response

“When everything failed, Ekim was the only one who picked up and showed up. They brought clarity when we had none.” – Rangeley Lakeside Cabins Owner

The Results

Today, Rangeley Lakeside Cabins HOA has full confidence in their connectivity. Whether during snowstorms or peak vacation season. Management can reach out for help anytime, and residents enjoy smoother internet, better smart-device performance, and peace of mind.

They now benefit from:

• 🔐 Stronger, more stable Wi-Fi across all cabins
• 📞 A reliable partner just one call away for future tech needs
