How much should I charge for installing a home network?

[austin316]

at school, many people don't realize how easy it is to split one internet connection to all of their pcs. many land lords are willing to pay me to do the cabling for their houses. how much is a fair price to charge them for my service? I would have to buy the router and the cables, which they will pay for. what is a fair flat fee for the products and labor?

50 bucks per installation sounds good.

Edit: Wait.. I don't get it, do you or don't you have to buy the cables and routers?

Edit2: Oh, you mean.. you will have to buy them, but they will pay for them? lol..

Maybe 75$ if you're going to have to do some driving.

atleast $15/hour

you never know what will happen until you do it, if one job takes 15min, great, if one takes 3 hours you are not screwing yourself. always charge hourly unless you bid a ton and they accept.
