Wi-Fi Upgrades
Dead spots at the back of the house, or Wi-Fi that drops out upstairs? Nine times out of ten it's the in-home Wi-Fi, not your plan. I add access points and sort the coverage so it works in every room.
What's involved
How I do wi-fi upgrades.
- Coverage checked room to room to find the actual dead zones
- Wired access points added so signal reaches the whole house
- Mesh or cabled backhaul depending on the building
- Older double-brick and long homes sorted without tearing walls apart
- Network tuned so devices hand over cleanly as you move around

Wi-Fi Upgrades questions.
Is it my internet plan or my Wi-Fi that's the problem?
Usually the Wi-Fi. If the speed is fine at the router but poor at the back of the house, adding a wired access point fixes it far better than paying for a bigger plan.
How do I check if it’s my internet or my Wi-Fi?
Easy test: plug a laptop straight into your modem or router with a cable and run a speed test, then run the same test over Wi-Fi in the spot that drops out. If the cabled result is good but the Wi-Fi one is poor, it’s your Wi-Fi coverage — and that’s exactly what I can sort with the right access points.
Won't a cheap Wi-Fi extender fix it?
Usually not — and they can actually make things worse. Most plug-in extenders create a second, weaker network and halve the speed as they repeat it, so you get more bars but slower internet. A proper wired access point puts full-speed Wi-Fi where you need it, all on the one network — the difference between a band-aid and a real fix.
Can one device in a dead spot slow everything down?
It can. A device hanging on to a weak signal at the edge of coverage talks slowly, and since everything shares the same airtime, that can drag down how responsive the whole network feels. Sort the coverage so every device has a strong connection and the whole place gets snappier — not just that far corner.
Do you have to run cables everywhere?
Not always — I'll use a wired access point where I can (it's the most reliable), or mesh where running a cable isn't practical. Either way I aim to keep the house tidy.
