How much does WiFi setup cost? Our current tech support rate is $150/hour including GST for remote or onsite help. Equipment, mesh hardware and larger network projects are scoped and quoted separately when needed.
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.
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 →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 →Poor signal in bedrooms, backyards, or garages. We design and install mesh networks and WiFi extenders that actually work — positioned for maximum coverage.
Open or weakly secured networks are a liability. We configure WPA3 encryption, guest networks, device isolation, and firewall rules — especially important for home offices.
Just got a new NBN modem or router? We configure it correctly, migrate your devices, set up SSID naming, and test everything before leaving.

Same-day may be available across Melbourne's north. We come to you — no jargon, just results.
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.
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.
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.
