Internet Setup & Provider Changeover in Ponsonby
New fibre, wireless or Starlink internet connected, secured and every device reconnected.
Internet Setup & Provider Changeover for businesses and homes in Ponsonby: we come to you, do the job on site and test it with you before we leave.
Network work in villas and shopfronts often means running cable under floors or through ceilings to reach a back office, putting a ceiling access point in a long hallway, or bringing order to a cupboard full of old switches. Cafes and bars want guest Wi-Fi kept separate from the till, and some add CCTV for the shopfront and back door.
From $135 + GST + $30 call-out ($185.25 incl. GST)
- The old router's settings recorded before it is unplugged
- Each connected device checked once the new connection is live
- Wi-Fi name, password and router login written down for you
Internet Setup & Provider Changeover for homes in Ponsonby
Housing here is dominated by timber villas and bungalows, many renovated, with long central hallways and additions out the back. Wi-Fi from a router in the front room rarely reaches the kitchen or a studio at the bottom of the garden. Herne Bay and Westmere also have larger homes where wired access points, outdoor coverage and a tidy home office make the biggest difference.
Typical internet setup & provider changeover jobs in Ponsonby
- Router installed, configured and placed sensibly
- Wi-Fi named, secured and guest access separated
- Computers, printers, TVs and recorders reconnected
- Changeover between providers planned to avoid a gap
- Port forwards and fixed addresses copied from the old router
- New fibre, fixed wireless and Starlink connections set up
Visiting sites in Ponsonby
Parking on narrow villa streets is tight, especially near Ponsonby Road on weekends, so a driveway or a quiet side street helps. Older homes often have limited ceiling space and low subfloors, which affects where cable can run, so we check both before pricing any cabling work.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- The Wi-Fi still has the name and password printed on the router's sticker
- Nobody kept a record of the settings on the old router before it was returned
- A new fibre or wireless connection has been switched on but nothing in the office talks to it yet
Before we arrive
- Anything that must be reachable from outside, such as cameras or a remote desktop
- Your new provider's account details and the connection date they gave you
- The login for the old router, if you have it

Internet Setup & Provider Changeover in Ponsonby: questions
Can you improve Wi-Fi in an old villa?
Yes. Thick timber walls and long hallways weaken Wi-Fi in villas. We look at where the fibre comes in and usually run a cable to one or two well-placed access points rather than relying on plug-in extenders.
Do you help small businesses on Ponsonby Road and in Kingsland?
Yes. We cover Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Kingsland, Herne Bay, Westmere, St Marys Bay and the surrounding streets, for shops, cafes, studios and offices as well as homes.
Do you work on Macs?
Yes. We repair and set up Mac computers and laptops, and connect them to shared printers, file storage and the office network alongside any Windows machines.
Do you do internet setup & provider changeover in Grey Lynn?
Yes. We cover all of Ponsonby, including Grey Lynn, Herne Bay, Westmere, Arch Hill, St Marys Bay, Kingsland.
Do you install the fibre or the Starlink dish itself?
The fibre lead-in and the box on the wall are installed by the network company your provider books. Starlink dish mounting is covered by our Starlink installation service. This service picks up from the point where the connection reaches the router.
