NBN Box in the Wrong Location? Here’s What You Can Do
Your NBN connection works perfectly.
There’s just one problem.
The equipment has ended up in a bedroom, garage or another location that makes absolutely no sense for your home network.
It’s a fairly common situation.
Why Does NBN Equipment Location Matter?
Where your internet enters the property can affect where you place your router and network equipment.
If that location is tucked away at one end of the house, relying on a single Wi-Fi router from that position may result in poor coverage elsewhere.
The solution isn’t always to move everything.
Sometimes it makes more sense to install structured cabling from the NBN location to a better position for the router or network equipment.
Can NBN Cabling Be Extended?
Depending on the type of NBN connection and the work required, there may be options for improving the internal cabling arrangement.
Telecommunications cabling in Australia is regulated, so applicable fixed cabling work should be carried out by an appropriately registered cabler.
Consider a Central Network Location
For larger homes, renovations and new builds, it can make sense to create a central location for networking equipment.
From there, Ethernet cabling can run to:
- Wi-Fi access points
- TVs
- Offices
- CCTV cameras
- Data points
- Other network equipment
Instead of designing the whole network around wherever the internet connection happens to enter the building, the internal network can be designed around how the property is actually used.
