Before you book
What to plan before you book
Good WiFi starts with knowing the building and how it is used.
Where you need a signal
Walk the property and note where the WiFi drops: upstairs rooms, the far end of a long house, the garden, a workshop or a holiday let across the yard. The design starts from where people actually use their devices.
How many people and devices
A family streaming on several screens, a hotel full of guests and an office of laptops and phones all need different designs. Plan for the busiest time of day, not the quiet one.
What the walls are made of
Thick stone or flint walls, foil-backed insulation, underfloor heating and metal racking all block WiFi. Old cottages and converted barns usually need more access points than their size suggests.
Separate networks for guests
Decide who should be on which network. A separate guest network keeps visitors off the devices and files a home or business relies on.
Line of sight for wireless links
A link between two buildings needs a clear view from one end to the other. Trees, hedges and other buildings in the way can mean a taller mounting point or a different route.
Worth knowing
Good to know
Extenders repeat a weak signal
Plug-in extenders and Powerline adapters can help, but a repeated weak signal stays weak, and Powerline depends on the home’s electrical wiring. Cabled access points or a mesh system give steadier coverage.
Power over the network cable
Business access points are powered through their network cable from a POE switch, so they can go on a ceiling or high on a wall with no socket nearby.
WiFi cannot beat your broadband
Good WiFi carries your broadband to every room, but it cannot make the incoming connection faster. If the broadband itself is slow, 4G broadband or a leased line may be the answer.
Keep the equipment up to date
Routers and access points that no longer receive updates are a common security weak point. A managed network can be updated remotely.

FAQ
WiFi solutions: questions customers ask
Is the WiFi survey really free?
Yes. We offer a free onsite, no obligation, survey to get a thorough plan of your property or business before recommending anything.
Should I choose a mesh system or wireless access points?
A mesh system suits most homes and smaller businesses and needs no wiring between the units. Cabled Ubiquiti access points are the proper solution for offices, factories, hotels, care homes and larger properties.
Can I install the mesh system myself?
Yes. The three unit set can be installed by our Wifi experts or you can install the system yourself.
Can you get the internet to a building across the yard or a field?
Usually, yes. A wireless point to point link can carry the internet several hundred metres, or as much as 5 Kms, as long as there is line of sight from one end to the other.
Why do my Powerline extenders keep dropping out?
Powerline extenders send the signal through your electrical wiring, so they can prove to be un-reliable. Access points or a mesh system give a reliable, consistent and secure connection.
Can you look after the network once it is installed?
Yes. We offer fully managed Wifi networks using a Ubiquiti cloud key, so updates and problems can be handled remotely.
