Frequently Asked Questions
Is moving the router to a better location possible?
Yes. While the fibre ONT usually remains in its original position, we can install data cabling to relocate your router to a more central location, significantly improving WiFi distribution throughout the property.
What’s the difference between WiFi extenders and access points?
Extenders repeat wireless signals and often reduce speed, while wired access points create new strong signal zones.
How many access points does a home typically need?
The number of access points depends on the size, layout, and construction of your property. Smaller homes may only need one additional wired access point, while larger or multi-storey properties often benefit from two or more strategically placed access points for consistent whole-home coverage.
Is a wired connection better for gaming?
Yes. A wired Ethernet connection offers lower latency and greater stability compared to WiFi, making it ideal for gaming or video conferencing.
Can you improve WiFi in a loft conversion?
Yes. Installing a wired access point in the loft area significantly improves signal strength.
What’s the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi?
2.4GHz offers wider coverage but lower speeds, while 5GHz provides faster speeds over shorter distances. Modern networks use both for balanced performance.
