High-Speed Rural Internet
Rural internet can be challenging, but Starlink is an absolute game changer! We can help with a fast and quality Starlink internet installation service anywhere in Taranaki, and we specialise in extending the Wi-fi coverage to all areas of your property that you need. We are experienced with all facets of the Starlink installation including mounting, equipment configuration, adapters, cable connections, and efficiency assessments.
Currently users in Aotearoa NZ are experiencing download speeds at around the 300Mbps rate. That makes it perfect for most home and workplace uses and allows for multiple user devices to be online simultaneously. Third party routers and wifi Mesh extenders can be integrated easily into your Starlink network if required.
How to get started

Open an account with StarLink to purchase the Kit, they will then have your details for when it comes to activating your StarLink service. The latest version of the Starlink Kit, which comes complete with everything you need for a basic install, will be couriered to you. Allow approx. 5 business days for delivery. Alternatively you can purchase a Kit from your local Noel Leeming or Harvey Norman store. The price is the same.
When the Kit arrives you can choose to install it yourself, you will need to download the Starlink app for IOS or Android and start there. Watch the install video for help www.starlink.com/nz/residential

Mesh Wi-Fi extension solutions
If your Wi-Fi signal doesn’t reach every corner of your home, a mesh Wi-Fi system is the perfect solution. Instead of relying on a single router, a mesh system uses multiple access points that work together to create strong, seamless coverage throughout your entire house — even in those tricky dead zones.
I can help design and set up a complete mesh network that ensures fast, reliable Wi-Fi in every room, no matter how large or complex your home layout is. From selecting the right equipment to configuring the network, I’ll make sure your whole property is fully covered.
Starlink costs?
It's now possible to lease the Starlink hardware for around $20 per month. The kit purchase price is currently NZ$599 for the new Gen 3 product.
The $79 "deprioritized" service makes Starlink very competitive with fibre and other high-speed internet services. This will give you unlimited data, but at a deprioritized rate, though this speed will still be faster than any rural Telco internet plan in New Zealand.
The $159 standard prioritized plan is unlimited and suitable for households with multiple users. Service is unaffected by weather conditions (no rain fade) or “line-of-sight” interference. If you have a clear view of the sky and the dish is correctly aligned you can expect consistent download speeds in the 280Mbps to 320Mbps range at the router, anywhere in NZ.
Talk to us first about the options best suited to your needs and budget. It's good to know your wifi requirements and physical hardware location.
We also provide a range of accessories available to improve the mounting location, connectivity, and functionality of your dish. These include extra mounting brackets, sidewall mounts and cabling extra's.
Point to Point Bridge system
A point-to-point Wi-Fi bridge system lets you extend your main internet connection to other areas of your property — perfect for farms and large rural sections. It works by creating a direct wireless link between two points, delivering a strong and reliable connection without the need for cables up to 5Km.
I’ve had a lot of success with these systems across Taranaki, using Starlink as the main signal source and connecting cowsheds and second homes. I can supply and install a setup tailored to your property, ensuring strong, stable Wi-Fi coverage wherever you need it.
