We provide a fibre ONT (like a modem) and a basic wireless router as part of your installation. You can also use your own compatible router if preferred. For businesses and internet-savvy households we offer additional options, such as a no-Wi-Fi ONT or SFP.

If the Tinuum Networks equipment and router at your home is powered, you will have internet during a power outage. In practice this means you need battery backup (UPS), a generator, etc. at your home.

For many households one Wi-Fi router will work. But if you need wider coverage, we have the expertise to get Wi-Fi anywhere on your property. Let's talk.
