Our SpaceTek IT WIFI Solutions

As Starlink brings high-speed internet to more homes in remote and rural areas, ensuring optimal WiFi coverage throughout your property is essential. Whether you want to extend WiFi through a large house, cover an outdoor area, or extend your WiFi into another structure like a shed, the right networking solutions can make all the difference. This guide will walk you through various options, including mesh routers, indoor wireless access points, and point-to-point wireless bridges, to help you achieve seamless connectivity.

We provide pre-programmed kits that are easy to setup and can be self installed, we provide you with all the parts and cables and you can have a handyman or electrician perform the installation for you.


 

The picture above is a basic point-to-point solution which we would advise for distances over 20m.  Alternatively we can provide a meshed based solution for areas closer to each other as per below picture:


 

Depending on the customisation of the requirements, for e.g. if you need additional wifi areas to cover, or more locations to extend to, the pricing of one of these kits generally starts around $300 inc GST for mesh solutions and $500.00 inc GST for a point to point wifi solution.  (pricing excluding delivery).


Our kits are able to be remotely programmed by us, and depending on your requirements we can customise extending your Starlink wifi to multiple locations over larger distances.  For a meshed wireless solution, we have kits that extend the wifi inside your home, or close enough distances.  Generally over 20m we would recommend a point to point wifi system.  

We also provide outdoor WIFI Access Points to boost outside wifi as per below:



These systems have outdoor rated access points and easy to install.  We also have optional mounts available to mount these.  Generally a system like this will start from $200 inc GST depending on size, coverage required and signal strength.

These kits are able to be remotely programmed by us, and depending on your requirements we can customise extending your Starlink wifi to multiple locations over larger distances.

Mesh WiFi Systems for Large Homes

Use Case: Extending WiFi Through a Large House

Large homes often face WiFi dead zones and weak signals in certain areas. A mesh WiFi system is an ideal solution for providing comprehensive coverage throughout your home.

What is a Mesh WiFi System?

A mesh WiFi system consists of a main router connected to your Starlink modem and several satellite nodes placed around your home. These nodes communicate with each other to create a single, seamless WiFi network.

Benefits:

  • Seamless Coverage: Mesh WiFi eliminates dead zones by providing consistent coverage across all areas of your home.
  • Easy Management: Most mesh systems come with user-friendly apps that allow you to manage your network, set parental controls, and perform speed tests.
  • Scalability: You can easily add more nodes to expand coverage as needed.



Indoor Wireless Access Points for Enhanced Indoor Coverage

Use Case: Improving WiFi Coverage in Specific Indoor Areas

Indoor wireless access points (WAPs) are perfect for boosting WiFi signals in specific indoor areas where connectivity is weak.

What is an Indoor Wireless Access Point?

An indoor WAP connects to your existing network via Ethernet and creates a new WiFi hotspot, improving coverage and signal strength in its vicinity.

Benefits:

  • Targeted Coverage: Ideal for areas like basements, attics, or rooms far from the main router.
  • High Performance: Provides strong, reliable connections for high-bandwidth activities.
  • Easy Installation: Typically easy to set up and manage.



Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges for Extending WiFi to Separate Structures

Use Case: Extending WiFi to Another Structure (e.g., a Shed)

If you need to extend your WiFi network to a separate structure, such as a shed, a point-to-point wireless bridge is the best solution.

What is a Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge?

A point-to-point wireless bridge connects two locations wirelessly. It consists of two devices: one connected to your main network and the other placed at the remote location.

Benefits:

  • Long-Range Coverage: Can cover significant distances, making it ideal for large properties.
  • Stable Connection: Provides a dedicated, high-speed link between two points.
  • Versatility: Can be used for connecting outbuildings, security cameras, or remote workspaces.



Outdoor Wireless Access Points for Expanding WiFi Coverage Outdoors

Use Case: Covering an Outdoor Area

For properties with extensive outdoor spaces, an outdoor wireless access point can provide strong and reliable WiFi coverage.

What is an Outdoor Wireless Access Point?

An outdoor WAP is designed to withstand weather conditions while providing WiFi coverage in open areas like gardens, patios, and yards.

Benefits:

  • Weatherproof: Built to endure various weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
  • Extended Coverage: Provides WiFi access across large outdoor areas.
  • High Performance: Delivers strong, fast WiFi connections for outdoor activities.

 

Conclusion

Expanding your WiFi coverage for Starlink connections involves selecting the right equipment for your specific needs. Whether you are looking to cover a large house with a mesh WiFi system, enhance indoor coverage with wireless access points, extend your network to a separate structure with point-to-point wireless bridges, or cover outdoor areas with outdoor access points, SpaceTek IT has the solutions you need.
