The problem

Why Como homes get

WiFi dead zones

Here’s why WiFi dead zones Como homes and apartments run into are so common — and how we fix them.

01

Apartments and townhouses

Concrete floors, steel framing and lift wells in Como’s apartments and townhouses weaken WiFi between rooms and levels.

02

Crowded neighbouring networks

Dense housing near Canning Highway and Canning Bridge means dozens of WiFi networks competing for the same channels.

03

Older homes with extensions

Original Como homes, many dating back to the early estate, often have rear extensions and solid walls that block the signal.

04

Students and remote workers

Close to Curtin University and the city, lots of Como households rely on WiFi for study and work all day.

05

Two-storey rebuilds

New two-storey homes on older blocks often leave the upstairs bedrooms with a weak connection from a downstairs router.

06

One fix done properly

Whatever’s causing your dead zone, we diagnose it first — router placement, interference, or genuine coverage gaps — then fix it with the right hardware, not the most expensive hardware. No return visits, no guesswork.

Quick fixes

Why the “quick fixes”

don’t work

If you’ve already tried the obvious things for WiFi dead zones Como homes run into, here’s why they usually fall short.

Quick fix #1

A more expensive router

A faster router still only has one antenna in one spot in the house. If the problem is coverage, not speed, a better router doesn’t fix it.

Quick fix #2

A cheap WiFi extender

Extenders create a second, separate WiFi network your devices don’t automatically switch between — so you’re manually reconnecting as you move through the house. Worse, they typically halve your speed.

No guesswork, no upsells — just a proper fix for WiFi dead zones Como homes run into.

01

Free phone assessment

Tell us where the dead zones are and what your home’s like — we’ll often have a good idea of the cause before we arrive.

02

On-site WiFi diagnosis

We test signal strength room by room, check for interference and identify exactly why coverage is failing where it is.

03

Mesh WiFi installation

Where a mesh system is the right fix, we install and configure eero mesh WiFi — proper whole-home coverage, one seamless network.

04

Router placement & config

Sometimes the fix is simpler than new hardware — the right placement, channel and settings changes can solve it outright.

05

Smart home & device setup

Once coverage’s sorted, we’ll get your smart devices, printers and streaming boxes reconnected and running properly.

06

Same-day service

Based just up the road in Attadale — most Como jobs are done same-day, often within the hour of your call.

FAQ

WiFi dead zones Como:

your questions answered

Do you service Como?

Yes. Como is a quick trip from our Attadale base across the Canning Bridge, and same-day visits are usually available.

In apartments it’s usually concrete and steel construction combined with interference from neighbouring networks. In houses it’s more often solid walls, extensions and router placement.

An extender creates a second network your devices don’t automatically switch between, and it typically halves your speed. Mesh WiFi (like eero) creates one seamless network across multiple points in your house, with your devices roaming between them automatically at full speed.

Most Como jobs land between $450 and $1,100 depending on your home’s size and how many mesh points are needed — we’ll give you a firm number after the free phone assessment, before any hardware is ordered.

Yes. Even a two-node eero system placed correctly can fix dead spots in bedrooms and on balconies, and it handles channel congestion far better than a basic router.
