Our WiFi & Network Services

From quick fixes to complete home and office network installations

WiFi Network Assessment

We test signal strength in every room, identify dead spots, check for interference, and diagnose why your WiFi isn't performing.

Mesh WiFi Installation

We install and configure mesh systems (Google Nest, TP-Link Deco, ASUS ZenWiFi, Netgear Orbi) for seamless whole-home coverage with no dead spots.

Router & NBN Optimisation

We configure your existing router for better performance — optimal channel selection, QoS settings, security hardening, and firmware updates.

WiFi Extender Installation

Strategic placement and configuration of WiFi extenders or access points to eliminate dead spots without a full mesh system.

Ethernet & Wired Network

For the fastest, most reliable connection, we install ethernet cables to home offices, gaming setups, and smart TV locations.

Office & Business Networks

Professional-grade network support for Brisbane offices and shops — guest networks, VLANs, and proper coverage for staff and customers.

5G Home Internet Setup — an NBN Alternative

Frustrated with slow NBN? 5G home internet is now available in many Brisbane suburbs and can be faster than NBN in some areas. We help you:

  • Check 5G coverage at your Brisbane address
  • Set up Optus 5G or Telstra 5G devices
  • Find the optimal placement for the best signal
  • Connect all your devices to the new network
Book 5G or NBN Setup

Mesh WiFi vs WiFi Extenders — What's the Difference?

Not sure which solution is right for your home? Here's the simple breakdown:

WiFi Extenders rebroadcast your existing signal. They're cheaper but often create a separate network and can reduce speeds.

Mesh WiFi Systems create one seamless network across your entire home. You move room to room without dropouts, and speeds stay consistent.

We help you choose the right solution based on your home size, budget, and needs.

What happens during a WiFi installation visit?

Geeks Brisbane comes to your home or small business, checks the layout and where your signal drops, places the router and any mesh nodes or extenders, then sets up, secures and tests the network. We visit Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay up to Caboolture, and Redlands. Queenslanders, multi-storey homes, large blocks and concrete or steel construction all affect coverage, so placement matters as much as the equipment.

  1. Assess the layout and dead spots: we look at how the building is laid out and where the signal drops.
  2. Place the router, mesh nodes or extender: we install and configure your mesh system and position each node for even coverage. We use an extender for a single weak spot where a full mesh system is more than you need, and we connect fixed devices such as TVs, consoles and desktops with a network cable to an existing data point or the router where that is steadier than WiFi.
  3. Configure the modem/router and NBN connection: we set up your modem and router so everything connects properly.
  4. Secure the network: we set a new admin password, use WPA2 or WPA3 encryption, set up a guest network and update the firmware. See our network and internet security page for more.
  5. Test coverage in the rooms you use: we check the signal where you actually use it before we leave.

Onsite work is $205 per hour with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. Onsite visits are booked by appointment. Book online at our booking page or call Geeks Brisbane on 1300 600 004 with your suburb to confirm availability.

How much does WiFi installation cost in Brisbane?

Geeks Brisbane charges $205 per hour for onsite work, with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. The total depends on the size of your home and how much equipment is involved.

Which areas do you cover for WiFi installation?

Geeks Brisbane visits Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and Moreton Bay up to Caboolture. We also travel to the Gold Coast at $225 per hour. Call Geeks Brisbane on 1300 600 004 with your suburb to confirm availability.

What helps WiFi work well in a Queenslander or multi-storey home?

In a Queenslander, placing the router centrally and adding a mesh node toward the far end of the house usually evens out the signal. In a multi-storey home, a mesh node on each level keeps the signal steady from floor to floor. Where thick walls, such as concrete or steel, block the signal, a wired network cable between nodes usually gives a steadier link than WiFi alone.

Mesh WiFi Brands We Install

We're brand-independent and recommend the best system for your home — not whatever has the biggest margin.

🌐

Google Nest WiFi

Simple setup, great app, built-in smart speaker option. Ideal for smaller homes.

📡

TP-Link Deco

Excellent value. WiFi 6 support, strong parental controls. Best bang for buck.

🚀

ASUS ZenWiFi

WiFi 6E tri-band powerhouse. Best for gamers, streamers, and heavy users.

🕐

Netgear Orbi

Dedicated backhaul channel for maximum speed. Great for large homes and offices.

⚙

Ubiquiti UniFi

Enterprise-grade reliability. Perfect for businesses and tech-savvy homes wanting full control.

WiFi for Brisbane Homes

Brisbane's housing stock creates unique WiFi challenges. Queenslanders, split-levels, and concrete construction all need a targeted approach.

🏡

Queenslander Homes

Elevated timber construction with rooms spread across a single level. We place nodes to cover the full footprint — including under the house if you use it as living space.

🏢

Multi-Storey Homes

Signals struggle between floors. We place nodes on each level with optimal positioning to maintain speed from ground floor to top storey.

🏞

Large Blocks & Acreage

Brisbane properties can be sprawling. We use outdoor-rated mesh nodes or extended setups to cover sheds, pools, and granny flats.

🧱

Concrete & Steel Construction

Modern units and townhouses with thick walls kill WiFi signals. Mesh nodes placed strategically in each room overcome these barriers.

NBN & Internet Technician Brisbane

Everything on your side of the NBN box, sorted

Internet not working, NBN dropping out, or just moved in and nothing is connected? Our Brisbane internet technicians sort out everything on your side of the NBN connection box — the modem or router, WiFi, mesh systems, and the computers, TVs and phones that connect to them.

What we don't touch is the NBN line itself or the NBN connection box on your wall. Those belong to NBN Co and are repaired through your internet provider. Part of every visit is working out which side the fault is on: if our tests show the problem is the line, we tell you exactly what to report to your provider so you aren't bounced back and forth between them.

Typical Brisbane jobs: a new NBN or 5G modem that was plugged in but never set up properly, WiFi that dies upstairs in a two-storey Queenslander, or an office where the internet drops every afternoon and nobody can say why.

1

NBN Modem & Router Setup

New modem connected, configured, updated and secured — with WiFi names and passwords you can actually remember.

2

Internet Keeps Dropping Out

We test the modem, cables, WiFi and the line to find where the dropouts really come from, then fix what is on our side.

3

Moving House or New Connection

Everything reconnected at the new place: modem, WiFi, smart TV, printer, computers and phones.

4

Home Network Setup

Mesh WiFi, a wired connection where one already exists, guest WiFi, and a network that reaches every room you use.

We have a large 2 storey older home with multiple extensions which meant terrible wifi. Vinnie from Geeks Brisbane was amazing. Initial consult on a Sunday, came up with a plan and implemented it a couple weeks later. Again, he was punctual and did exactly as discussed. Our wifi is now AMAZING. Super fast absolutely every where in the house, garden and driveway. Could not be happier. Thank you Vinnie

Vinnie from Greeks is an excellent technician. He fixed my internet and Bigpond issues professionally and with apparent ease. Vinnie was on time, he talked me through what he was doing to my phone and laptop and make sure I was completely satisfied before he left. Definitely my go to person for all Teck issues - worth the money for peace of mind.

Excellent service and response! Same day service. I switched internet service providers and had no internet service in the transition. There was a glitch between my new and old provider. Geeks Brisbane were incredible. They stayed until my new service was tested on all devices - tvs, tablets, phones, sound system and security systems. All is working and our internet is better than ever. Highly recommend Geeks Brisbane.

WiFi installation in Brisbane: price and what's included

WiFi installation with Geeks Brisbane is charged at $205 per hour onsite, with a one-hour minimum and no call-out fee. A technician installs and configures your router, mesh system or access points and tests the signal in each room. The hourly rate covers labour; the WiFi hardware itself is a separate purchase.

What happens during a WiFi installation visit

  1. Check the NBN connection point and the layout of the home or office
  2. Position the router and any mesh nodes or access points
  3. Set the network name, a strong password and a guest network
  4. Connect your computers, phones, printers and smart TVs
  5. Test speed and signal room by room

Remote support at $125 per hour suits changing router settings, WiFi names and passwords once the hardware is already connected; installing or positioning new equipment needs an onsite visit.

Onsite WiFi installation covers Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay and Redlands; Gold Coast visits are $225 per hour.

WiFi & Network FAQs

Common questions about WiFi problems and solutions

Are you an NBN technician?

Not NBN Co's — NBN Co technicians install and repair the NBN connection itself, and they are booked through your internet provider. We are the internet technician for everything after the NBN box: the modem, WiFi, mesh network and your devices. We can also tell you whether a fault is on the line so you know what to ask your provider for.

Why does my NBN keep dropping out?

The most common causes are a modem that is overheating or running old firmware, WiFi interference or weak signal in part of the house, a faulty cable between the NBN box and the modem, or a genuine line fault. We test each of these in turn so you fix the real cause rather than restarting the modem every day.

How much does an internet technician cost in Brisbane?

$205 per hour on-site or $125 per hour remotely, with a one-hour minimum. If you need new equipment such as a mesh system, that is charged at cost on top of the time. Call 1300 600 004 or book online.

Why is my WiFi so slow?

Slow WiFi can be caused by several factors: router placement (too far away or blocked by walls), interference from other devices or neighbour networks, outdated router firmware, too many connected devices, or using the wrong WiFi channel. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and fix it.

What's the difference between WiFi extenders and mesh WiFi?

WiFi extenders rebroadcast your existing signal — they're cheaper but often create a separate network name and can reduce speeds by 50%. Mesh WiFi systems create a single seamless network with multiple access points, providing consistent speeds and automatic device handoff as you move around your home. For larger homes, mesh is usually the better investment.

How much does WiFi installation cost in Brisbane?

Onsite WiFi assessment, router optimisation, and mesh installation are $205, plus equipment for mesh installs. Remote support is $125/hr where the problem can be fixed without a visit. Office and business networks are quoted after a site assessment. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins — no surprises.

How many mesh nodes do I need for my home?

As a general guide: 2 nodes cover up to 150m² (typical apartment or small home), 3 nodes cover up to 300m² (standard 3-4 bedroom home), and 4 or more for homes over 300m² or multi-storey layouts. Wall materials matter too — concrete and steel need nodes closer together than timber-framed Queenslanders.

Does mesh WiFi work with my NBN connection?

Yes, mesh WiFi works with all NBN connection types — FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, HFC, and Fixed Wireless. We connect the primary mesh node to your NBN modem and position satellite nodes throughout your home.

Will mesh WiFi improve my internet speed?

Mesh WiFi won't increase the speed of your NBN plan, but it will dramatically improve the speed you actually experience in far-away rooms. If you're currently getting 20Mbps in your bedroom on a 100Mbps plan, mesh can bring that back up to 80-100Mbps.

Can I keep my existing WiFi network name and password?

Yes. We can configure your new mesh system with the same network name (SSID) and password as your current WiFi. All your devices will reconnect automatically without needing to update settings on each one.

Can you fix WiFi dead spots in my house?

Yes — dead spots are one of the most common issues we fix. Solutions include repositioning your router to a central location, installing a WiFi extender or access point, setting up a mesh WiFi system, or running ethernet cables to problem areas. We'll recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.

Do you work with Telstra, Optus and TPG equipment?

Yes, we work with all ISP-provided modems and routers including Telstra Smart Modem, Optus, TPG, Aussie Broadband, and others. We can optimise your existing equipment or recommend upgrades if your current hardware is the bottleneck.

How long does WiFi installation take?

A typical WiFi assessment and router optimisation takes 1-2 hours. Mesh WiFi installation usually takes 60-90 minutes for a standard home, longer for larger or multi-storey properties. We test every room before we leave to ensure full coverage.

What does a home Wi-Fi installation include?

A home Wi-Fi installation starts with a signal check through the house. We then place the router or mesh nodes where they do the most good, set up one network name with a secure password, update the firmware, and connect your main devices: TVs, laptops, phones and printers. Before we leave, we test speeds in the rooms you use most. For a DIY checklist, see our home Wi-Fi and mesh setup guide.

Can you install Wi-Fi the same day in Brisbane?

Usually, yes. Same-day appointments are available most days, 7 days a week. Book online to see the next open time, or call 1300 600 004. If you need new equipment such as a mesh system, we can tell you what to buy before the visit or supply it at cost on the day.

Do you install Wi-Fi extenders and access points?

Yes. We install and configure Wi-Fi extenders, mesh nodes and wired access points, and we’ll tell you honestly which one suits your home. In most two-storey or brick homes a mesh system beats an extender. Our mesh Wi-Fi vs extender guide explains why.
