Network work in Mt Eden and Mt Albert is usually in older buildings: running cable through ceilings or under floors to a back office, adding data points, fitting a small rack, and setting up separate guest Wi-Fi for shops and clinics. Homeowners ask for CCTV covering the driveway and front door, and for wired access points in thick-walled houses.
- Failover tested by disconnecting the main link
- Priority rules set for the systems that matter most

Business Internet & Failover in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: questions
Why is my Wi-Fi poor in an old stone or brick house?
Stone, brick and solid timber absorb wireless signal. The usual fix is to run a cable from the router to an access point in the part of the house that struggles, rather than adding more wireless extenders.
Do you help home-based businesses?
Yes. Many people in Mt Eden, Mt Albert and Sandringham run a business from home. We set up the office network, backups, printing and Microsoft 365 just as we would for a larger office.
Do you cover Mt Roskill and Three Kings?
Yes. We cover Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings and Mt Roskill, for homes and businesses. Let us know whether it is a house, a shop or an office, and where the router or comms cupboard sits.
Do you do business internet & failover in Mt Eden?
Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.
Which backup connection should we choose?
It depends on the site. 4G/5G suits most urban offices with good mobile signal. Starlink suits rural sites or places with weak coverage. A second fibre from a different provider makes sense where both lines take different routes into the building.
