What the network problem usually is in Meath
Meath homes tend to be bigger sites than Dublin or Kildare, Ashbourne, Ratoath and Dunshaughlin in particular have a lot of detached houses on a third of an acre or more, often with a garden room, a converted attic, or an outbuilding in the mix. One router by the front door was never going to cover a house that size plus a garden office down the lawn. The broadband is usually fine; the distances and the number of rooms are the problem. The assessment measures every floor and the far corners, runs a three-day trial on the part that struggles, and the written report shows exactly where the connection is lost. The fix is powerline carrying the connection over the house wiring to access points placed where the measurements say, including a garden room or outbuilding when it shares the same electrical supply, which the survey checks before anyone promises it.
What it is for
Buffering
The TV buffers in the middle of the film, or a video call freezes, while the broadband looks fine at the router.
Devices dropping off
The Nest thermostat, a camera or another smart device keeps going offline and coming back. When that happens, the network is the first thing to check.
Dead rooms
Upstairs or the back bedroom barely gets a signal, and it's always worse in the evening when everyone is online.
How the Meath assessment works
- Your broadband tested at the router by cable, so the report can say whether the line itself is the problem
- Every floor measured, so it shows where the connection is lost, not where we guess it is
- A working trial on your weakest floor, measured every hour for 3 days, with up to 3 problem devices moved onto it
- A plain-English report and a 30-minute call, yours to keep even if you take the figures to your provider
If a fix is worth it, it is powerline carrying your connection over the electrical wiring already in the house to access points placed where the measurements say, on one network name. The €395 assessment is credited in full against it. See the full assessment.
Only doubt the broadband line itself? The €199 broadband evidence service logs it for 7 days and gives you a one-page report for your provider.
Home network in Meath, frequently asked
My house is too big for one router, what can be done?+
Measure it, then carry the connection to where it is needed. The assessment measures every floor and the far corners, and the fix is powerline over the house wiring to access points placed by those measurements, so the whole house runs on one network name.
Can you get a connection to a garden room or outbuilding?+
Often, if it is on the same electrical supply as the house, since that is what powerline uses. The survey checks the supply and the three-day trial shows what it holds, so the garden room is only promised once it has been measured.
Is it my broadband or the size of the house?+
In Meath it is usually the size. The broadband is typically fine at the router and the distances and number of rooms are what lose it. The assessment tests the line by cable so the report can say so plainly, and shows where the signal is actually dropping.
Do you cover the Meath side of Drogheda?+
Yes, the Meath side (Donore, Slane) is within our standard area. Drogheda town itself sits in County Louth, same crew and same assessment.
