Reliable internet depends on the connection you choose and how you spread it around the building.
Choose your connection
| Best when | |
|---|---|
| Fibre or broadband + Wi-Fi router | Available on your street |
| 4G/5G MiFi or home router | Good mobile coverage, or you move around |
| Starlink | Weak mobile signal, remote areas, or as backup |
Spread Wi-Fi through the building
Concrete walls block Wi-Fi. For multi-room or multi-storey homes, a mesh system or extra access points remove dead spots.
Keep internet up during dumsor
Put the router (and Starlink kit) on a UPS or power station. Routers use little power, so even a small backup lasts hours.
For small offices
Consider a second connection as backup, such as a MiFi or Starlink. See office network setup.
Security basics
- Change the default router password.
- Use WPA2 or WPA3 encryption.
- Create a guest network for visitors.
