A Robust Mesh Upgrade
For most homes, the fix is a properly designed mesh system — nodes placed for real-world coverage, wired backhaul where possible and channels tuned — so the dead spots and dropouts are gone for good.
Slow speeds, weak signal, dead spots, buffering and Wi-Fi that keeps dropping out — we diagnose the real cause and fix it. Using professional survey software we pinpoint exactly what's holding your wireless back, then recommend the right solution for your home or business across the Kāpiti Coast.
No guessing and no upselling. From repositioning your gear to a robust mesh upgrade or a full enterprise setup, we solve it properly — so your Wi-Fi is fast, strong and reliable in every room.
What's slowing your Wi-Fi?
Slow and unreliable Wi-Fi is rarely down to just one thing. It can be the wrong hardware, poor placement, distance, the materials your home is built from, interference from neighbours, channel congestion, or an issue on the line itself. Throwing a new router at it without knowing the cause usually just wastes money.
Instead, we diagnose. Using professional survey software we map your coverage, test your speeds and throughput, and scan for interference — so we know exactly why your Wi-Fi is slow, weak or dropping before we recommend a fix.
We diagnose and fix slow wireless everywhere from Paekākāriki and Paraparaumu to Raumati, Waikanae, Te Horo and Ōtaki, and the rural blocks across the Kāpiti Coast.
Building materials & interference
When Wi-Fi is slow or keeps dropping, the building itself is often the culprit — and we've worked in just about every kind of Kāpiti home and business. We know how different construction affects a wireless signal, and how to design around it.
Concrete walls and concrete cladding, foil-backed insulation, building wrap and steel framing all absorb or reflect Wi-Fi — which is why one router in the lounge often can't reach the rest of the house. It's not just your walls, either: in busier areas like central Paraparaumu and Waikanae Beach, dozens of neighbouring networks crowd the same channels, and everyday devices like microwaves and baby monitors add to the interference.
Because we've seen how these factors play out right across the coast, we can quickly tell whether your problem is the building, interference, congestion, placement or hardware — and recommend the fix that will actually work.
The solutions
For most homes, the fix is a properly designed mesh system — nodes placed for real-world coverage, wired backhaul where possible and channels tuned — so the dead spots and dropouts are gone for good.
For larger homes, offices and demanding setups, an enterprise-grade Ubiquiti UniFi network delivers the best performance, capacity and reliability — the same gear businesses trust, tuned for your property.
What we diagnose & fix
If your wireless is doing any of these across your Kāpiti home or business, we can find out why and fix it.
Not getting the speeds you pay for? We find whether it's your Wi-Fi, your hardware or the line itself — and fix it.
Fine on a speed test but slow in real use? We track down the throughput bottleneck choking your network.
Signal that fades out in the far rooms, upstairs or out the back — we map it and put strong coverage where you need it.
Rooms with no Wi-Fi at all? We locate every dead spot and design coverage that actually reaches them.
Netflix spinning and video calls freezing? We fix the congestion and coverage issues behind the buffering.
Wi-Fi that keeps dropping or disconnecting? We find the cause — interference, hardware or config — and make it stable.
How it works
We start with a one-hour on-site diagnosis. Using professional survey software we map your coverage, run speed and throughput tests, and scan for interference and channel congestion — so we find the real cause of your slow or dropping Wi-Fi, not a guess.
You get a clear, plain-English explanation of what's wrong and a fixed quote for the fix — whether that's repositioning gear, a mesh upgrade or a full enterprise setup. The diagnosis is charged at our standard rates.
Book a diagnosis
Your one-hour on-site diagnosis is charged at our standard rates below (minimum one hour). The fix — repositioning, a mesh upgrade or an enterprise setup — is quoted separately once we know the cause.
The fix: Once we've found the cause, any repositioning, hardware, mesh upgrade or enterprise installation is quoted separately as one fixed price. You're never pressured into new gear — we recommend only what your situation actually needs.
Travel fee: A $25 travel fee applies for local jobs from Paekākāriki to Te Horo. Addresses in Hautere, Ōtaki, Manakau and Pukerua Bay are charged a $62.50 fee, and Kuku, Ohau, Levin, Waitārere or surrounding areas a $125 fee. This is in addition to the hourly rate.
Reviews
Real results for Kāpiti Coast homes plagued by dropouts, weak signal and dead spots.
Amazing service. For years we struggled with intermittent disconnections, dropouts and weak signal down the back of our house. We thought we had the right setup, but Dave came and installed a whole new setup for us, and we can now stream 4K Netflix in the back bedroom, yay!
