Home Wi-Fi and network installation in Sydney
We install home Wi-Fi and networks across Sydney, because every system in a smart home depends on the network: the app, the cameras, the intercom, the audio and your own devices. We design it from the floor plan and build it to be managed, not reset.
Designed, not guessed
Good Wi-Fi comes from wired access points in the right places, not a more powerful router. We plan access point positions from the floor plan and the building materials, cable each one back to the rack, and check coverage on site once the house is finished.
- Cat6 structured cabling to every data point, access point and camera
- A ventilated rack with patch panels, labelled end to end
- Managed switching with PoE sized for the cameras, access points and intercoms
- Separate network segments for cameras, smart home devices and guests
- Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi such as UniFi, managed remotely
- UPS on the core equipment so a power blip doesn't take the house down
Why segmentation matters. Cameras and smart home devices don't need to share a network with your laptops. Keeping them on their own segments is better for security and makes faults far easier to find.

Network problems we fix most
Wi-Fi dies at the back of the house
One router doing the work of four access points. Cabled access points fix it properly.
Everything drops when the power flickers
No UPS on the core equipment. A small UPS keeps the network, recorder and control system up.
The ISP swapped the modem and the house went dark
Devices on fixed addresses the new modem doesn't know. We document and fix the addressing.
Nobody knows the passwords
No record of the network. Every job we do is documented and handed over.
What drives the cost of a home network
We don't publish package prices, because two houses that sound the same can be very different on site. These are the things that move the number.
- The size and construction of the house
- Number of access points, cameras and data points
- Rack, switching and PoE requirements
- Cabling access on existing homes
- Remote management and support
Where we work
Based on the Northern Beaches, we design and install across the Eastern Suburbs, the Lower and Upper North Shore and the harbour side of the Inner West: from Palm Beach, Clareville and Clontarf to Mosman, Hunters Hill, Wahroonga, Point Piper, Vaucluse, Bellevue Hill and Dover Heights, and further afield for larger projects.
Questions we get asked
Why is my Wi-Fi bad in parts of the house?
Usually because one router or a few mesh units are covering too much house through too many walls. Wired access points in the right positions solve it properly.
Do I need a rack?
In any house with more than a couple of systems, yes. It keeps the network, recorders, amplifiers and control equipment together, ventilated and labelled, which makes the whole house easier to support.
Can you fix my existing network?
Yes. See network and Wi-Fi fixes.
Is Wi-Fi 7 worth it?
It depends on the house and the devices. In Australia the full 6 GHz band isn't yet available for Wi-Fi, so the headline speeds in overseas marketing don't all apply here. We'll recommend what makes a real difference.
