Why Is My Internet Slow in Alfreton?
If your internet feels slow in Alfreton — especially upstairs, in extensions, or in a home office — you’re not alone. In most homes the speed problem is caused by Wi‑Fi coverage, router placement, or internal layout rather than the broadband line itself.
- Wi‑Fi slow upstairs in terraces and older homes
- Router installed near the front wall with weak back‑bedroom signal
- Streaming buffering while bedrooms drop out
- Garden office signal weak or unreliable
We cover Alfreton and nearby areas including Somercotes, Ripley and Swanwick.
What we do
Router relocation to a better position + wired Wi‑Fi access points for stable coverage across the whole property — including outbuildings.

Why it’s slow (the usual causes)
Router in the wrong spot
If the router sits by the entry point or behind the TV unit, the signal struggles through the house.
Thick walls & layout
Thicker internal walls and extensions can block 5GHz, so speed collapses a few rooms away.
No wired backhaul
Boosters without a cable feed can’t deliver consistent speeds — wired backhaul is the upgrade.
Our fix
We move the router to a better position (or re‑route cabling) and add wired access points where coverage is needed.
Outbuildings
For sheds and garden rooms, we can run a network cable and install a proper access point for stable Wi‑Fi.
FAQs
Will a “Wi‑Fi booster” fix it?
Sometimes it helps a little, but the best fix is usually a wired access point so Wi‑Fi isn’t hopping wirelessly.
Do you tidy the cabling?
Yes — we aim for a neat finish and sensible routes, with a setup that’s easy to live with.
Can you improve Wi‑Fi without changing my provider?
Yes — most “slow internet” complaints are internal Wi‑Fi coverage issues that we can fix.
