Why Relocating Your NBN Can Improve Wi-Fi and Home Layout
Montmorency NBN Relocation: From Lounge to Linen Cupboard
Our recent Montmorency project came from a homeowner who wanted to clear the clutter in their lounge room and improve Wi-Fi reliability throughout the house.
The original NBN and Foxtel setup sat behind the TV, with a mess of cables running along the floor. Our technicians relocated the modem and router to the top shelf of the linen cupboard in the laundry — a cleaner, safer, and more efficient setup.
We:
Installed new power outlets for the NBN equipment
Ran a data point from the new modem location back to the Foxtel box
Neatened up the TV area and tested signal strength
Ensured a stable connection through all devices
The result? A tidy space, better performance, and a homeowner thrilled that everything “just works.”
Why Relocating Your NBN Setup Makes a Difference
Many homes have their NBN connection installed wherever the technician first found an easy access point — often not the most practical location. Moving it can make a huge difference.
Here’s why relocation is worth considering:
📶 Improved Wi-Fi coverage: Positioning the modem centrally reduces dead zones.
🧹 Less clutter: No more cables behind the TV or along the floor.
🔌 Better organisation: Everything tucked neatly away in a cupboard or utility area.
⚡ Future-ready wiring: Easier to connect smart home systems, security, and streaming devices.
🔒 Protection: Keeping your modem away from heat, pets, and spills helps it last longer.
