Wi-Fi access points
Mesh units on bookshelves are a compromise. Ceiling-mounted access points connected by cable give strong, even Wi-Fi in every room, and they look neater too.

Short answer
A wired Wi-Fi access point system uses ceiling-mounted access points connected by Cat6 cable and powered over Ethernet (PoE). Most homes need two to four access points. Installed, each point typically costs $350 to $700 including cabling, plus a PoE switch.
We survey your home or office, choose positions for even coverage, run cable to each access point and power them from a PoE switch in the network cupboard.
Business-grade access points from vendors such as Ubiquiti, TP-Link Omada and Cisco Meraki can be managed by you or your IT provider.
Signs you need better Wi-Fi
- Dead zones in bedrooms, upstairs or the backyard
- Video calls drop as you move around
- Many devices slow everything down
- A double-brick or multi-level home

Why wired backhaul
Mesh units that relay wirelessly lose speed with every hop. Cabled access points each get a full-speed connection, so coverage is consistent everywhere.
