WiFi at a Portarlington 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 Portarlington addresses.
The housing tells you most of the story. A historic foreshore village with weatherboard fishermen’s cottages, a strong wave of 80s/90s brick veneers, and newer infill estates on the Geelong side. 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.
How a $149 visit actually runs.
Most Portarlington bookings happen the same 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. Heat-mapped across the 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 $149 fee than walk away with an $800 sale you didn’t need.
Postcode 3223 (Portarlington) and the surrounding streets are all included — no extra fee for travel anywhere inside our service patch.
