Network Setup Canberra – FAQs
How much does network setup cost in Canberra?
Basic network setup starts from $140 for simple home WiFi installation. More complex setups like mesh networks, business networks, or ethernet cabling installations cost more depending on your specific needs. At Local Geeks, we come to your location. We provide a quote before starting work, and with our “No Fix, No Fee” guarantee, you only pay if we get your network working properly.
Can you setup my network remotely?
Yes! Many basic network configurations can be done remotely using secure screen-sharing technology. This works well for software configuration, WiFi settings, and troubleshooting. For physical installations like mesh systems or ethernet cabling, we visit on-site. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the best approach – remote or on-site.
Do you install NBN connections?
Yes, we setup NBN connections for all types: FTTP (Fibre to the Premises), FTTC (Fibre to the Curb), FTTN (Fibre to the Node), and HFC (Cable). We connect your NBN modem, configure your router, and ensure you get the internet speeds you’re paying for. If you’re having NBN connection issues, we troubleshoot and fix them.
How long does network setup take?
Most home network setups take 1-2 hours. Simple router configurations can be done in 30-60 minutes. Complex setups like mesh networks throughout a large house or business office networks may take 2-4 hours. We offer same-day service so you’re connected as quickly as possible.
What’s the difference between a regular router and mesh network?
A regular router broadcasts WiFi from one location, which can create dead zones in larger homes. A mesh network uses multiple devices placed around your home that work together to create one seamless WiFi network with coverage everywhere. Mesh is better for two-story houses, large homes, or houses with thick walls. We recommend the best solution based on your home layout.
Will you setup security on my network?
Absolutely! Security is included in every network setup. We configure strong WPA3 encryption, create secure passwords, hide your network name if desired, setup guest networks for visitors, and enable firewall protection. We also show you how to check who’s connected to your network.
Can you help with my work-from-home setup?
Yes! We specialise in home office network setups. We ensure reliable internet for video calls, configure VPN connections for secure remote work, prioritise your work computer’s network traffic, and setup separate work and personal networks if needed. Many Canberra professionals trust us for their remote work setups.
Do you provide support after installation?
Yes! We provide phone support if you have questions after installation. We also give you printed instructions with your network details and basic troubleshooting steps. If you need hands-on help later, we can return for follow-up visits. Our goal is to make sure you’re comfortable managing your network.
What if I’m renting? Can you still help?
Absolutely! We setup temporary networks perfect for renters and students. We use equipment that doesn’t require drilling or permanent installation. When you move, you can take everything with you or we can help you relocate your network setup to your new place.
