What we do

Coverage jobs we do at your home

Dead zones are usually a layout problem, not a broken internet service. These are the coverage jobs a home visit covers.

  • Testing coverage room by room

    We measure the signal in the rooms you use — bedrooms, the study, the back deck — to see where it drops and why.

  • Mesh or extender?

    An extender can fix one weak room; mesh suits larger or multi-level homes. We explain which suits your house before you buy anything.

  • Setting up a mesh system

    Placing and configuring mesh nodes so devices move between them smoothly, using one network name throughout the house.

  • Fixing an extender that is not helping

    Extenders placed inside the dead zone often make things worse. We move or reconfigure them where the router signal is still strong.

  • Wired backhaul where available

    If there is an existing data cable between rooms, we can use it to link mesh nodes for a more reliable connection.

  • Testing devices in every room

    Phones, laptops, smart TVs and printers checked in the rooms where they live once the new coverage is in place.

Illawarra homes

Why Wi-Fi struggles in some Wollongong homes

  • Split-level and hillside houses

    Homes built into the slopes below the escarpment often have living areas and bedrooms on different levels, with concrete or brick between them.

  • Two-storey family homes

    A router downstairs at the front of the house rarely reaches bedrooms upstairs at the back without help.

  • Long single-storey layouts

    In long brick-veneer homes, the far bedrooms and the back deck can be well out of range of a router at the front.

  • Apartments

    In CBD and North Wollongong apartments, interference from neighbouring networks can matter more than distance.

Before you buy

Will a cheap booster fix it?

Sometimes. A single extender can help one room close to the router's range. For several weak rooms or more than one level, mesh is usually more reliable. We explain the trade-offs so you only buy what the house needs.

Read Wi-Fi booster vs mesh for the background.

Dropping everywhere?

If Wi-Fi is bad in every room

If the Wi-Fi is slow or dropping even beside the router, more coverage will not fix it. That needs Wi-Fi troubleshooting first.

Questions

Mesh Wi-Fi and extender setup FAQs

Can you set up mesh Wi-Fi at my Wollongong home?

Yes. A technician comes to your home in Wollongong or the Illawarra, tests coverage, places and configures the mesh nodes and checks every room you use.

Do I need mesh or an extender?

An extender can be enough for one weak room near the edge of the router's range. Several weak rooms, more than one level or a long house usually need mesh.

Where should a Wi-Fi extender go?

Halfway between the router and the weak room, where the router signal is still strong — not inside the dead zone itself.

Can you set up a mesh kit I have already bought?

Yes. Tell us the brand and model when you book. If it does not suit the house, we explain why before setting it up.

Will mesh make my internet faster?

Mesh improves coverage, not the speed of your NBN plan. If speed is slow beside the router, the plan or provider is the limit.

How much does mesh setup cost in Wollongong?

Scheduled visits start from $160. Mesh units and extenders are extra and discussed before you buy them.
