Wifi setup in Kensington

Kensington’s period townhouses and mansion flats present some of the more challenging WiFi environments we work in. Multiple floors, original thick walls, and no retrofitted cable infrastructure mean signal distribution is inconsistent — a single router in a hallway cabinet solves almost nothing. We plan whole-home coverage properly: surveying each floor, testing signal falloff, and recommending access point positions or mesh node placement that actually reaches the rooms you work and live in. For buildings around Kensington High Street and the streets near Holland Park, this often means a wired backbone to upstairs access points. Parking is restricted around W8, but onsite visits are straightforward with advance booking. We follow up remotely once the network is installed. For full service details, see our WiFi setup page. For local context, see our Kensington area page. To book, contact us or call 020 7610 0500.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wifi Setup in Kensington

Why is my WiFi so slow even with fast broadband?

Common causes include poor router placement, interference from other networks, outdated equipment, too many devices, or using the wrong frequency band. We diagnose the specific issue and fix it.

What's the best way to extend WiFi to my garden office?

Options include mesh WiFi systems, powerline adapters with WiFi, or a dedicated access point. We'll assess your property and recommend the most reliable and cost-effective solution.

Should I use my ISP's router or buy my own?

ISP routers are often basic. A quality third-party router or mesh system usually provides better performance, range, and features. We can advise on the best option for your needs and budget.

Can you help with business WiFi for my office?

Yes, we set up business-grade wireless networks including access points, guest networks, VLANs, and security. We can handle small offices to larger commercial premises.

How do I get WiFi in rooms with thick walls?
