1. Book the internet installation at the new address early and get the install date in writing.
2. Map where the modem, router, printer, and any card readers will sit, near power and cable points.
3. List the systems staff need on day one: email, phones, printing, payments, and shared files.
4. If your phones run over the internet, update the 911 address with the phone provider on move day, so emergency calls show the new address.
5. Before unplugging anything, make sure shared files and any office computers or file server that are moving have a recent backup, with one copy kept outside the office. Then label cables and equipment, and photograph how the network is connected.
6. Plan a test day in the new space before staff and customers arrive.

Keep devices reconnecting on their own

1. Bring the router’s admin login and Wi-Fi details. If the new network uses the same name and password, most devices reconnect without anyone touching them.
2. Confirm your numbers can move to the new address, and keep the old phone service running until calls work there. If you are switching phone providers, the new provider starts the number transfer. Cancelling first can cost you the number.

• The new space needs Wi-Fi to reach more than one room or floor.
• Phone numbers, card readers, or security cameras must move with you.
• The provider’s install date is close to opening day.

We review the move date, the new layout, and the work that must keep running. We help plan where the network equipment should go, what the provider must do, and what to test once the space is ready. After the move, we check the essentials with you and note anything still waiting on a vendor.

Can we keep our business phone number?

Usually, but it depends on the phone provider and the type of number. Ask the provider how to move or transfer the number, and keep the old service active until the number works at the new address. If you switch providers, the new provider starts the transfer. Moving out of the local area may mean you cannot keep the number. Little Fight NYC can help plan phones, internet, and Wi-Fi for an office move in New York.

What should we test on the first day?

Test the work customers notice first: calls, card payments, email, and booking. Then check printing, shared files, and the Wi-Fi in each room people use. Little Fight NYC can run this first-day check with your team.
