Frequently asked questions
Will a new router fix my Wi-Fi problems?
Often yes, especially if your router is old. But placement and configuration are equally important. We assess and optimize all factors.
Do I need a mesh system or just a better router?
Depends on your property size and layout. Single-level homes under 150sqm usually do fine with one good router. Larger or multi-level homes benefit from mesh.
Can you use my existing router from my ISP?
Yes, we can optimize it. However, ISP routers are often basic. We can recommend whether upgrading would significantly improve performance.
How many mesh nodes do I need?
Typically one node per level or 100-150sqm. A site survey determines the exact number and placement for your property.
Will this work with NBN?
Yes. We’re experienced with all NBN connection types (FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, HFC, Fixed Wireless) and optimize for your specific connection.
Can you run Ethernet cables through my walls?
Yes. We can install wired Ethernet where needed, with professional cable management and minimal visual impact.
How long does installation take?
Basic optimization takes 1-2 hours. Full mesh installation with multiple nodes takes 2-4 hours. Wired network installation varies by complexity.
