No Wi-Fi in the shed or granny flat
Distance and walls kill the signal. A wired link or outdoor access point is usually the answer.

Computer Repairs Wattle Grove for Bigger Blocks and Sheds
When the house is a long way from the shed and the internet barely reaches the back verandah, the usual advice does not work. We design Wi-Fi and cameras around the property you actually have.

A Single Router Was Never Going to Cover It
Houses on larger blocks are harder to cover with Wi-Fi than most people expect. The router sits in the house, but the signal has to cross lawn, a driveway and maybe a shed or granny flat. Signal does not do that well, and the usual "buy a booster" advice rarely solves it.
Security is the other half of it. Larger blocks mean more ground to keep an eye on, and cameras that connect reliably to the house are a good way to do it. They are only as good as the connection behind them.
We approach it by looking at the property. Where is the internet coming in, where do you need coverage and what is in between? Then we choose between access points, cable runs and other options that suit the layout. Our CCTV installation and Wi-Fi setup pages cover the services.

Problems on Larger Blocks
These come up again and again.
Cameras go offline
Weak Wi-Fi at the camera location, or power problems. We check each.
Internet is slow at the far end of the house
Router placement and interference. We map the signal and fix the weak points.
The NBN connection point is in an awkward place
We can look at options to bring the signal where you need it.
Smart devices keep disconnecting
Often caused by weak signal. Proper coverage solves most of it.
A laptop in the back office keeps losing connection
Could be Wi-Fi, could be the laptop. We check both.

Why range extenders disappoint
Extenders Versus Proper Access Points
A plug-in extender repeats the signal it can already hear. If the signal is weak where you plug it in, the extended signal is weak too and often halves the speed.
A wired access point works differently. It has a cable back to the router and creates its own strong signal. It costs more to install, but it is more reliable, especially for outbuildings.
Where running cable is difficult, there are wireless links designed for the job. We choose based on the building and the distance, not what is cheapest to sell.
