🌐 Wondering why your internet feels like a rollercoaster? 🎢🤔

Ever experienced the frustration of lightning-fast Wi-Fi in the living room, but a snail's pace in the bedroom? Don't worry, you're not alone! Here are a few reasons why your internet might be playing hide and seek:

1️⃣ WIFI router is too far away

2️⃣ Electronic devices are playing havoc with WIFI signals

3️⃣ Outdated Equipment

4️⃣ Wi-Fi Thieves - Is someone squatting on your WIFI?

5️⃣ Router Placement - Make sure it’s in a central position in your home

If all is said and done and you’re still having issues, consider a range extender, which increases WiFi coverage by connecting to your existing router and creating a separate WiFi network that has its own name and security credentials.

If you’ve got nbn and you’re moving, you may be wondering what’s going to happen to that connection when you finally pack up and move. The first step is to determine whether your new property has been connected on the nbn before.

If yes, it can take as little as 15 minutes to re-establish the nbn connection. If not, a technician will need to be sent out to prepare the property, which may take up to two weeks.

Either way, it’s good to be prepared before your move so you can slip back into your routine easily.

Let us help by booking a call to talk through the connections you need, whether it’s nbn, electricity, cleaners and more: https://www.directconnect.com.au/services/

Moving with your fur baby? Here are 3 Tips for a Smooth Pet-Friendly Move:

Plan Ahead: Pets can sense change, so start preparing early. Create a comfy space for them amidst the moving chaos and keep their essentials handy, like food, water, and toys. If possible, introduce them to the new home and get them comfortable with the property.

Travel Comfort: During the move, secure your pet in a safe carrier or crate. For longer journeys, frequent breaks and comfort stops are a must – let them stretch those paws!

Settling In: Upon arrival, ease your furry friend into their new home. Familiar scents, toys, and a cosy corner can help them adjust. Plenty of love and patience are key! 🐶🐱❤️

Bonus tip: Make sure to check with your local council on whether you need to re-register them in the new area.
