Frequently asked questions
Will a new router improve my Wi-Fi?
Often yes, especially if your router is over 3 years old. Modern routers have better range, faster speeds, and improved features.
Do I need mesh Wi-Fi or just a better router?
Depends on your home size and layout. Homes under 150sqm on one level usually work fine with a good router. Larger or multi-level homes benefit from mesh.
Can you use my ISP-provided modem?
Yes, we can optimize it. However, ISP modems are often basic. We can assess whether upgrading would improve performance significantly.
How many mesh nodes do I need?
Typically one node per floor or per 100-150sqm of space. A site survey determines the exact number needed for your property.
Will this work with my NBN connection?
Yes. We’re experienced with all NBN connection types including FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, HFC, and Fixed Wireless. We optimize for your specific connection.
Can you set up parental controls?
Absolutely. We can configure time limits, content filtering, and access schedules to keep children safe online.
How long does installation take?
Basic optimization takes 1-2 hours. Full mesh network installation with multiple nodes takes 2-4 hours depending on property size.
