Boost weak Wi-Fi properly

WiFi Booster Installation that actually works

Weak signal in the bedroom, kitchen or office? We test why, then fit the right type of booster in the right place, so the improvement is real.

Not all boosters are equal

The right booster in the right place

Plug-in boosters often disappoint because they are put where the signal is already weak, so they repeat a poor connection. Others create a second network name that devices refuse to switch to.

We measure the signal first and choose the right approach for your building: a mesh system, a wired access point or a powerline adapter where cabling is not possible. Then we position it properly and set it up so it works as part of one network.

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most. If yours is not here, send us a message and we will reply.

They can, when the right type is put in the right place. Many plug-in boosters fail because they are placed where the signal is already weak.
A wired access point gives the best speed. Mesh is a good choice when cable cannot be run, because the units talk to each other wirelessly.
Usually not. Where possible we keep your existing network name and password, so devices reconnect automatically.
Often, yes, if it is close to the house. For longer distances a point-to-point link or outdoor access point is more reliable.
Yes. Boosters and mesh systems work with standard routers from any provider.
