Question 1

What's the difference between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 access points?

Accepted Answer

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) access points offer up to 4x higher capacity, better performance in dense environments, improved battery life for connected devices, and faster speeds than WiFi 5 (802.11ac). They're ideal for homes or offices with many connected devices.

Question 2

Do you offer business pricing on wireless networking equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes! NZ businesses can apply for a trade account to access volume pricing on our entire range of access points and networking gear. Enjoy 30-day credit terms, priority dispatch, and dedicated account management for your wireless networking purchases.

Question 3

What's the coverage area of a typical indoor WiFi access point?

Accepted Answer

Most indoor access points provide 20-30 meters of coverage in optimal conditions. Factors affecting range include building materials, interference, and device capabilities. For larger spaces, consider multiple APs or models specifically designed for extended coverage.

Question 4

Can I use access points from different brands together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, access points from different brands will work together on the same network, but you'll need separate management interfaces. For seamless roaming and unified management, we recommend sticking with a single brand ecosystem like Ubiquiti UniFi or MikroTik.

Question 5

How do I set up a point-to-point wireless bridge?

Accepted Answer

Purchase two compatible wireless bridge devices (like Ubiquiti NanoBeam or MikroTik outdoor APs). Mount them with clear line-of-sight, configure one as access point and one as station, and align them precisely. Our team can recommend suitable products based on your distance requirements.

Question 6

Do you stock PoE injectors for powering access points?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we stock a range of PoE injectors and PoE switches compatible with all the access points we sell. Add them to your cart when purchasing your AP, or browse our networking accessories category for options from various brands.

Question 7

What's your delivery timeframe for networking equipment?

Accepted Answer

We dispatch in-stock access points within 1-3 business days from our Auckland warehouse. Delivery to Wellington and Christchurch typically takes 1-2 additional days, while other NZ locations may take 2-3 days. Orders over $150 ex GST qualify for free shipping.
