What mesh WiFi systems do you install?

We install all major mesh WiFi brands including Google WiFi, Google Nest WiFi, Amazon Eero, TP-Link Deco, Netgear Orbi, Ubiquiti UniFi, and ASUS ZenWiFi. We can recommend the best system for your property size, budget, and requirements, or install equipment you've already purchased.

How does mesh WiFi work?

Mesh WiFi uses multiple nodes (stations) placed throughout your property that communicate with each other, creating a single seamless network. As you move around, your devices automatically connect to the strongest node without disconnection. This eliminates dead zones and provides consistent coverage everywhere.

Will mesh WiFi fix my WiFi dead zones?

Yes, mesh networks are specifically designed to eliminate WiFi dead zones. Our engineers strategically position mesh nodes to ensure complete coverage throughout your property. We conduct site surveys to identify problem areas and place nodes for optimal signal overlap and coverage.

Do I need ethernet cables for mesh WiFi?

No, mesh systems work wirelessly between nodes. However, wired ethernet backhaul (connecting nodes via cables) provides significantly faster speeds and more reliable performance. We can install ethernet cabling for backhaul during installation if you want maximum performance from your mesh network.

How many mesh nodes do I need?

This depends on your property size and construction. Typical homes need 2-3 nodes for complete coverage (one main router, 1-2 satellites). Larger properties (3,000+ sq ft) or those with thick walls may need 4-6 nodes. Our engineers will survey your property and recommend the optimal number for perfect coverage.

Will mesh WiFi improve my internet speed?

Mesh WiFi improves coverage and eliminates dead zones, but doesn't increase your internet provider's speed. However, better coverage means devices maintain strong connections and achieve the speeds you're paying for. Wired backhaul can improve speeds between devices on your local network (file transfers, streaming from NAS, etc.).

Can mesh WiFi work with my existing router?

Yes, most mesh systems can work alongside existing routers in 'bridge mode' or 'access point mode'. Alternatively, mesh systems can replace your existing router entirely. We'll configure the setup based on your internet provider's requirements and your preferences.

Is mesh WiFi suitable for businesses?

Yes, we install business-grade mesh networks and professional WiFi access point systems for offices, retail premises, hotels, and commercial properties. Business systems offer advanced features like VLANs, bandwidth management, multiple SSIDs, and centralized management for IT administrators.

How long does mesh WiFi installation take?

Basic mesh system installation (2-3 nodes, wireless backhaul) takes 2-3 hours including setup, configuration, optimization, and testing. Systems with wired ethernet backhaul take 4-6 hours due to cable installation. We'll complete everything in a single visit with full demonstration of the system.

What is a mesh WiFi network and how does it differ from my standard router?

A standard router provides WiFi from a single point — signal weakens with distance and is blocked by walls. A mesh network uses multiple nodes placed throughout your property, each communicating with the others, creating a single seamless network with consistent coverage everywhere. Unlike WiFi extenders (which create separate networks requiring manual switching), mesh systems roam transparently so your devices always stay connected to the strongest node without interruption.

What brands of mesh WiFi do you install and which do you recommend?

We install all major brands including Google Nest WiFi Pro, Amazon Eero Pro, TP-Link Deco, Netgear Orbi, ASUS ZenWiFi, and Ubiquiti UniFi. For most homes, Google Nest and Eero offer the best balance of performance and ease of management. For larger properties and technical users who want advanced configuration, Ubiquiti UniFi provides the most control. We recommend based on your property size, budget, and technical preferences.

What is WiFi 6 and should I upgrade to it?

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the current-generation WiFi standard offering higher speeds, better performance when many devices are connected simultaneously, and improved battery life on connected devices. WiFi 6E extends this into the 6GHz band, reducing congestion in dense environments. For homes with 20+ connected devices or those using bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously, WiFi 6 is a meaningful upgrade. We install WiFi 6 and 6E equipment as standard on new mesh network installations.

Can you improve WiFi in a garden room or outbuilding?

Yes — extending WiFi to a detached garden room, summerhouse, workshop, or garage requires either a wired ethernet backhaul (most reliable, with the cable buried underground in armoured conduit) or a dedicated outdoor access point. We design the most appropriate solution for your situation, install the cabling or access point, and configure the garden room WiFi as a seamless extension of your home network.

What is ethernet backhaul for a mesh network and why is it better?

Wireless mesh nodes communicate with each other over WiFi, which consumes some of the available bandwidth. With wired ethernet backhaul, the connection between nodes uses dedicated ethernet cables — leaving the full wireless capacity available for your devices. Ethernet backhaul typically doubles the throughput available to devices on satellite nodes and significantly reduces latency. We install Cat6 backhaul cabling as part of premium mesh network installations.

Can you fix a specific WiFi dead spot without replacing the whole system?

Yes — if your system is otherwise working well and you have one problematic area, adding a single mesh node or access point to that zone is often the most cost-effective solution. We assess whether your existing router and infrastructure supports expansion, or whether a specific access point addition would provide the coverage you need. Not every WiFi problem requires a complete system replacement.

Will a mesh network affect the speed of my broadband connection?

A well-configured mesh network will not reduce your broadband speed — it delivers the full speed your ISP provides to every corner of your property. With wireless backhaul, nodes slightly reduce available bandwidth between themselves, but this rarely affects the speeds seen by individual devices. Ethernet backhaul eliminates this entirely. Our engineers benchmark speeds at both the router and at remote nodes after installation to verify performance.

Can mesh WiFi integrate with smart home platforms?

Yes — mesh systems from Google (Nest WiFi Pro), Amazon (Eero), and others integrate natively with their respective smart home ecosystems (Google Home, Amazon Alexa). This allows voice control of your network, automatic device prioritisation, and parental controls. Ubiquiti UniFi integrates with more advanced home automation platforms for technical users wanting granular network management alongside smart home control.

What is the difference between a WiFi extender, a booster, and a mesh node?

A WiFi extender creates a second network with a different name — your devices don't roam between it and your main router automatically. A booster amplifies the existing WiFi signal, including any noise and interference, and generally performs poorly. A mesh node is a proper access point that joins your existing network seamlessly, roaming your devices automatically to the strongest node. Of these three options, mesh is almost always the best solution for eliminating dead zones in homes.
