WiFi at an East Geelong address depends on the era of the house, the materials in the walls, and which connection technology reached the kerb. We measure all three.
What we tend to see at East Geelong addresses.
The housing tells you most of the story. Weatherboard cottages, post-war brick veneers and a band of 1950s ex-Housing-Commission stock built around the same time as Norlane. That single fact — the era, the materials, the block size — is what determines whether one router will cover your house out of the box, or whether you’ll be hunting for dead spots in the back bedroom.
What we’ve seen in East Geelong.
The shape that catches people out here is the long narrow block: a townhouse roughly 44 metres deep with the fibre box and router in the garage at the front and the living areas twenty-five to thirty metres away at the back, with bedrooms above. That is geometry, not bandwidth, and no plan upgrade fixes it. The fix on that job cost nothing in hardware terms beyond a mesh node, because the house already had structured cabling from the garage that had never been used. It is worth checking whether your builder left you a wired path before you buy anything.
How a $199 visit actually runs.
Most East Geelong bookings are available inside a week. We turn up with the diagnostic kit — real gear, not the apps that come with home routers — and go through every room of your place with you. Speed-tested at the device. Written onto a drawing of your floorplan. The data is what drives the recommendations, not guesswork.
Within a day you’ll have a written report — short paragraphs, ranked recommendations, no engineer-speak. The honest answer sometimes is “don’t spend any money” and we’ll happily make that call when it’s right.
What we won’t do.
No upselling, no monthly subscriptions, no replacement-router-for-the-sake-of-it. The cabinet’s full of mesh kits, but most of the time we leave them in the cabinet — your existing gear is usually fine, it just needs to be set up properly. We’d rather walk away with a $199 fee than walk away with an $800 sale you didn’t need.
Postcode 3219 (East Geelong) and the surrounding streets are all included — no extra fee for travel anywhere inside our service area.
