WiFi, Modem & NBN Troubleshooting

We diagnose the real cause of slow or dropped internet — whether it's an ageing NBN modem, a poorly placed router, channel congestion, or just an ISP issue worth escalating. Telstra, Optus, Belong, Aussie Broadband, TPG — we've worked with the lot.

/ What's included
  • New NBN router & modem setup (Telstra, Optus, Belong, Aussie BB, TPG)
  • NBN connection drops & red-light diagnosis
  • WiFi heat-mapping & survey
  • Mesh network design & install (Deco / Eero / Orbi / Google Nest)
  • Channel & band optimisation
  • ISP coordination — we talk to Telstra/Optus/iiNet so you don't have to
/ Frequently asked — WiFi, Modem & NBN Troubleshooting

Why is my NBN modem showing a red light?

It depends which box has the red light — the NBN-supplied connection box, or your router. Generally: a red light on the NBN box itself means a line fault (call your ISP), while a red light on the router usually means it can't authenticate or sync with the NBN box. We've written a full plain-English guide on the blog, and we attend on-site if the 4-step reset doesn't fix it.

Will a Wi-Fi extender or a mesh system work better?

Mesh, every time. Wi-Fi extenders halve your bandwidth and create two competing networks; a proper mesh system (Deco, Eero, Orbi, Google Nest, Ubiquiti UniFi) gives you full speed everywhere with seamless roaming. We design the mesh to your house shape and install on-site.

Do you supply the modem, or do I have to buy one?

Either. We're happy to install a router your ISP sent you, or supply our own recommended unit if the supplied one isn't up to it. For homes with thick walls, multi-storey layouts or dead zones in the back room, we usually recommend a Ubiquiti UniFi or TP-Link mesh — quoted upfront before any purchase.

Can you talk to my ISP for me?

Yes. ISP coordination is included in most of our Wi-Fi jobs — we'll lodge faults, escalate stuck tickets, and re-authenticate your account with Telstra, Optus, Belong, Aussie Broadband, iiNet or TPG so you don't have to sit on hold.
