Quick Answer — WiFi Setup Melbourne

How much does WiFi setup cost? WiFi setup and configuration in Melbourne costs $99–$149. Mesh network setup costs $149–$249 depending on the number of nodes. NBN optimisation and dropout troubleshooting starts from $99.

Why is my WiFi dropping out? The most common causes are router placement (distance + walls), router age (over 4 years), NBN connection issues, and wireless channel congestion from neighbouring networks. Most dropout problems are fixed without replacing hardware.

Common Problems

WiFi & Network Problems We Fix

WiFi Dropouts

Intermittent dropouts are usually caused by router placement, channel congestion, or an ageing router. We identify the cause and fix it — not just restart and hope.

WiFi troubleshooter →

Slow Internet Speed

Getting far less than your NBN plan speed? Could be router hardware, WiFi band issues, interference, or a congested NBN connection. We test and optimise end-to-end.

NBN speed checker →

Dead WiFi Zones

Poor signal in bedrooms, backyards, or garages. We design and install mesh networks and WiFi extenders that actually work — positioned for maximum coverage.

Network Security Setup

Open or weakly secured networks are a liability. We configure WPA3 encryption, guest networks, device isolation, and firewall rules — especially important for home offices.

New Router / Modem Setup

Just got a new NBN modem or router? We configure it correctly, migrate your devices, set up SSID naming, and test everything before leaving.

Smart Home & IoT Setup

Connecting cameras, smart plugs, TVs, and voice assistants without slowing down your main network. We set up separate IoT VLANs for security-conscious households.

Why It Happens

What Causes WiFi Dropouts & Slow Speed?

1

Router Placement & Age

Routers placed inside cupboards, behind TVs, or in corners lose 50–70% of their range. Routers over 4 years old often can't handle modern NBN speeds or the number of connected devices in a typical household.

2

Channel Congestion

In dense suburban areas like Epping, Lalor, and Thomastown, dozens of neighbouring WiFi networks compete on the same channels. Switching to the 5GHz band and selecting a less-congested channel often resolves dropouts entirely.

3

NBN Connection Issues

Sometimes the problem isn't your WiFi — it's the NBN connection itself. We test your line speed, check for CVC congestion from your ISP, and help you identify whether a plan upgrade or ISP change would help.

Decision Guide

Is This a Router, ISP, or Setup Problem?

It's the router:
All devices lose Wi-Fi at the same time intermittently, or speed is poor on all devices near the router — likely a router configuration or hardware fault.
It's the ISP/NBN:
NBN box shows amber or red lights, or internet is completely down with no router changes made — call your ISP first.
It's the setup:
Dead zones in rooms, devices that won't connect, or a new device that needs network integration — book a visit. Most Wi-Fi setups resolved in one hour.
