Q: How can I extend my Wi-Fi range?

A:

If you’re looking to get better Wi-Fi reception at a part of your house that’s away from your main router, a Mesh system is generally the best way to go. While you can buy various systems at electronics stores, we supply a high-performance Mesh solution. These units use Wi-Fi 6 technology and integrate directly with our support systems. This allows us to run advanced remote diagnostics to help you quickly if you ever have a connection issue.

Ours are competitively priced at $149, or a two-pack for $249. Depending on the size of your house you may need only one. Contact us by email (ultrafast@uber.nz) or call on 09 4385472. And if you decide to go for another alternative, give us a call and we can help set it up for you.

Q: How do I answer using 'Call Waiting'?

A:

Most modern handsets can handle call waiting just fine. When on a call, if you hear an occasional beep it means a call is waiting. To answer it, locate the ‘flash’ or ‘talk’ button on your phone, and press it. This will put your current call on hold so you can answer the second call. If that doesn’t work you will need to consult your telephone handset manual for complete instructions. If you don’t have a manual you may need to research your particular telephone handset on Google for instructions.
