Frequently Asked Questions
Should I update my router’s firmware?
Yes. Firmware updates often include security patches and performance improvements that help stabilise your WiFi network.
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.
Are WiFi issues common in new build homes?
Yes. Fibre entry points are often placed near the front of properties, leading to weak coverage in rear rooms.
Why is my WiFi slow even though my broadband speed is good?
You can have fast broadband at the router but still experience slow WiFi in rooms far away or through thick walls. Installing wired access points or improving router positioning usually resolves this.
Why is my WiFi strong near the router but weak upstairs?
WiFi signals weaken when passing through floors, walls, and ceilings. Installing a wired access point upstairs usually provides a much stronger and more consistent connection.
Can you move the fibre ONT to a better position?
No. The fibre ONT itself normally cannot be moved once installed. However, we can install a Cat6 data cable from the ONT to another location in your home so the router can be positioned in a better, more central place for improved WiFi coverage.
