Frequently Asked Questions

How can we ensure reliable Wi-Fi coverage across our entire school?

Reliable coverage depends on the right number of access points, correct placement, and avoiding interference from thick walls or outdated cabling.

What’s the best way to support lots of devices at the same time?

Choose Wi-Fi systems designed for high-density environments, with features like band steering and load balancing to prevent congestion.

Is our current Wi-Fi fast enough for modern learning tools?

If you're experiencing buffering, dropouts, or slow connections, it may be time to upgrade to support newer technologies and higher data demands.

How do we keep students safe online using school Wi-Fi?

Implementing content filtering, user access controls, and proper network segmentation helps protect students and comply with safeguarding requirements.

Can we extend Wi-Fi to outdoor areas like playgrounds and sports fields?

Yes, with weatherproof access points and outdoor cabling, you can provide connectivity across your entire site.

What’s the difference between Wi-Fi 5, 6, and 7 — and do we need the latest?

Wi-Fi 6 and 7 offer better performance in busy environments. Schools don’t always need the latest, but upgrading from older tech (like Wi-Fi 4 or 5) is usually beneficial.

How can we connect multiple buildings without digging cables?

Point-to-point wireless links are a cost-effective way to extend your network between buildings without major construction work.

Should students and staff have separate Wi-Fi networks?

Yes — separating networks improves security, performance, and helps manage access control.

How can we manage Wi-Fi easily across the school site?

Cloud-managed systems let IT staff monitor performance, update settings, and troubleshoot issues from a central dashboard.

When is the best time to upgrade our school’s Wi-Fi?

School holidays are ideal for minimal disruption, but upgrades can also be done during term time with proper planning.
