QuickBooks Wireless

Intuit consistently discourages QuickBooks Desktop running on a wireless network in Intuit’s support community and documentation, and rightfully so. The community generally assumes that classic QuickBooks Desktop Client Server setup will be deployed in an office wireless environment. A classic QuickBooks Desktop client server setup will not work correctly using a wireless network. Unfortunately, QuickBooks Desktop appears to work, but can actually result in lost data and lost time working to solve wireless connectivity issues impacting your accounting, computing and employees.

However, QuickBooks Desktop performs exceptionally well in a Remote Desktop Services environment on a wireless network and it is the way forward. I think any larger than a three QuickBooks Desktop multi user setup should be a Remote Desktop Services deployment and that secured wireless should be deployed in any office network.

For example, a five user Windows 10 Desktop Server with Thinstuff deployed as Remote Desktop Services software built with an off lease computer and QuickBooks Desktop software can be completed for under $1000 and have a life span of over three years.

Consider Wireless QuickBooks Desktop as a very special case requiring careful consideration. Proponents advocating wireless in businesses understand cost savings and productivity increases after successful wireless deployments in certain types of working environments.

If wireless drives your consideration in a small installation, think about one of these lower cost alternatives. If you’re thinking DIY, use our experience to complete your QuickBooks Desktop Multi User Server. Before installing QuickBooks Desktop, install Thinstuff. Setup and test your Thinstuff users. Install QuickBooks. Set up and test your QuickBooks users. Use Remote Desktop Services from your wireless workstation or laptop to access your QuickBooks Desktop Server, without installing QuickBooks Desktop on each client computer. Interested?
