Before full-fibre installation
Ask about router position before the installer starts
Fast fibre does not automatically mean strong Wi-Fi in every room. Where practical, ask whether the router can be positioned nearer the middle of the home—not simply at the easiest entry point.
A central, open position can help Wi-Fi reach more of the property. Avoid cupboards, the floor and spots hidden behind a television where possible.
