WiFi Specialist Armstrong Creek - New Build WiFi Problems Fixed
Professional WiFi diagnosis and installation for Armstrong Creek homes and businesses.
New Home, New WiFi Problems?
Armstrong Creek is one of Victoria’s fastest-growing areas - but brand new homes don’t mean brand new WiFi performance. In fact, I see more WiFi problems in new builds than older homes.
Why? Modern construction uses materials and techniques that can actually make WiFi worse:
- Foil-backed insulation acts like a WiFi blocker
- Multiple storeys mean more walls to penetrate
- Open-plan living creates unexpected dead zones
- Smart home devices competing for bandwidth
Common Armstrong Creek WiFi Issues
New Build Problems
- WiFi doesn’t reach the master bedroom
- Signal dies in the home office upstairs
- Smart doorbell keeps disconnecting
- Alexa/Google Home goes offline randomly
- ISP-provided router doesn’t cut it
Smart Home Struggles
- Ring doorbell drops connection
- Security cameras buffer or lag
- Smart lights become unresponsive
- Robot vacuum loses WiFi mid-clean
- Home automation unreliable
Armstrong Creek has a mix of internet infrastructure depending on which estate you’re in. Some have NBN FTTP, others have OptiComm fibre - both deliver excellent speeds up to 1 Gbps. If you’re having problems, it’s almost certainly your WiFi, not your internet. That’s actually good news - WiFi problems are fixable.

Internet Infrastructure by Estate
Important: Armstrong Creek estates use different internet networks depending on the developer. Your ISP options depend on which network serves your address.
| Estate | Developer | Internet Type | ISP Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warralily | Newland Developers | OptiComm FTTP | 50+ providers (not Optus) |
| Armstrong Estate | Villawood Properties | OptiComm FTTP | 50+ providers (not Optus) |
| Yaringa | Various | Check your address | Varies by stage |
| The Village | — | NBN FTTP | All NBN providers |
| Ashbury | — | NBN FTTP | All NBN providers |
Large estates can have different infrastructure in different stages. Your neighbour might be on NBN while you’re on OptiComm - or vice versa. Always check your specific address before choosing an ISP.
How to check:
- NBN Address Checker — Enter your address to see if you have NBN
- OptiComm Address Checker — Enter your address to see if you have OptiComm
If one says “not available” and the other recognises your address, that’s your network.
What OptiComm Means for You
If your estate has OptiComm instead of NBN:
- Same great speeds — Up to 1 Gbps, genuine FTTP fibre
- Fewer ISP choices — Can’t use Optus, but 50+ other providers work
- Different equipment — OptiComm NTD box instead of NBN box
- Same WiFi challenges — Your router still has to cover your whole home
Bottom line: Whether you’re on NBN or OptiComm, your WiFi problems are the same - and I can help with both. Learn more about OptiComm in Geelong and private fibre networks.
Why New Builds Have WiFi Problems
Modern Construction vs WiFi
Your home might be brand new, but the building techniques that make it energy efficient can also kill your WiFi signal.
The ISP-provided router that came with your NBN connection is designed to work in a small, single-story home. In a modern two-storey Armstrong Creek home, it often can’t provide whole-home coverage.
Not always a mesh system. Sometimes it’s as simple as repositioning your router, changing WiFi channels, or adjusting settings. That’s what my assessment reveals - the actual problem and the most cost-effective solution.
