Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about broadband and WiFi setup in Cornwall
Can you set up any make or model of router?
Yes - Mark works with all major router and modem brands including BT, Sky, Virgin, Netgear, TP-Link, Asus and others. Whether it's a standard ISP-supplied router or a third party unit, he can configure it correctly for your connection.
My WiFi doesn't reach all rooms - can you fix that?
Yes - poor WiFi coverage is one of the most common issues Mark resolves. Solutions depend on the property layout and construction - older Cornish stone properties in particular can have significant signal absorption. Mark will assess the situation and recommend the most cost-effective fix, whether that's repositioning your router, adding a WiFi extender or installing a mesh network system.
Do you set up broadband for businesses and holiday lets?
Yes - Mark sets up broadband and WiFi for businesses, offices, holiday lets and rental properties across West Cornwall. For holiday lets he can configure guest networks with separate credentials that are easy to update between bookings.
How long does a broadband and WiFi setup take?
A standard home router setup and WiFi configuration typically takes 1 to 2 hours. More complex setups involving multiple access points, mesh networks or business environments will take longer. Mark will give you an accurate estimate when you book.
My internet is slow even though I'm paying for fast broadband - can you help?
Slow speeds despite paying for a fast package can be caused by several factors - router placement, WiFi interference, network congestion, incorrect configuration or a fault on the line. Mark will diagnose the specific cause and resolve it. In many cases a simple configuration change makes a significant difference.
Can you set up a separate guest WiFi network?
Yes - setting up a separate guest WiFi network is straightforward and something Mark configures as standard for holiday lets and businesses. Guests get internet access without being able to see or access devices on your main network, which is both more secure and more convenient.
Do you work with all internet service providers?
Yes - Mark works with all UK internet service providers including BT, Sky, Virgin Media, Plusnet, TalkTalk, EE and local Cornish providers. As long as you have an active connection Mark can configure your equipment to work with it correctly.
Can you help if I'm switching broadband provider?
Yes - switching broadband provider often means a new router arriving with minimal setup instructions. Mark can configure the new equipment, transfer your WiFi network name and password to the new router so your devices reconnect automatically, and confirm the new connection is performing as expected.
