Home Wi-Fi diagnosis and repair
Paying for fast internet but not getting it? Often the problem is the Wi-Fi inside the home, not the provider.
Wi-Fi Health Check, $199. A home visit that measures the Wi-Fi at 5 locations around the home, fixes the quick problems on the spot and shows the difference.
Where the speed gets lost
The internet reaches a home through a chain of links. The internet provider and the NBN look after the line up to the router, and a speed test there often looks fine. From the router, the Wi-Fi signal still has to get through walls and floors and compete with the neighbours' networks before it reaches a phone or laptop. That part is inside the home, so the provider doesn't check it or fix it, and it is where most slowdowns happen. Paul measures each link inside the home, finds the weak one and fixes it.
