Coverage Extension (WAN)

Coverage extension (WAN)

When your house is within range of one of our towers but doesn’t have direct line of sight to it, a WAN extension is our go-to solution.

 

Using this solution we relay a service from a neighbouring property that can access Lightwire’s network, essentially extending our network to you via this other property.

 

If your neighbour is the helpful type, let’s talk about how we can team up to get you connected.

 

$0 install, and Lightwire’s Unlimited ($139/month) plan must be selected on a 24 month term

On Farm Extension (LAN)

Need to extend your internet connection to other locations on your property? A Lightwire on-farm extension is the solution for you.
 
Connect a cowshed, the office, or a workshop to your existing plan and eliminate the need for a second connection.
 
The wireless connection includes one Wi-Fi-enabled router, located at the property connected directly to the Lightwire rural tower. The other locations will have a single ethernet cable to plug directly into a computer or other device.
 
$600 installation fee + $30 monthly per additional account. 12 month minimum term applies.
