Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fix WiFi dead zones in extensions or kitchens?

Yes. Rear extensions, kitchens, and conservatories often block or weaken WiFi signals due to brickwork, steel supports, and insulation materials. Installing a wired access point in the affected area restores strong, reliable coverage.

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 causes buffering even when speed tests look fine?

Speed tests measure connection at the router. If your device is far from the router, poor WiFi signal can cause buffering even if broadband speed is good.

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.

Do access points require maintenance?

Access points require minimal maintenance but may need occasional firmware updates.

Is it possible to combine wired and wireless solutions?

Yes. The most effective home networks use wired backbone cabling with wireless access points.
