Wi-Fi Solutions
-
There are multiple ways in which we can improve your Wi-Fi signal throughout your home, and it all depends on the layout and construction elements of the property.
Key solutions include:
Relocation of the router to a more central or optimal position for better signal distribution.
Installation of a Wi-Fi mesh system, ideal for eliminating dead zones and providing a strong, stable connection in specific areas.
Deployment of wall or ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi access points to ensure consistent and seamless coverage across all rooms, especially in larger or multi-story homes.
Our team can assess your home and provide tailored advice on the best solutions to achieve strong, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout.
-
Yes, we provide Wi-Fi solutions for businesses and offices as well as homes. Whether you have a small shop or a busy office in Dublin, we'll make sure you have strong and reliable Wi-Fi. We understand business needs, like guest networks and secure connections, and we can set those up for you. Our team will tailor everything so your business internet runs smoothly without a hitch.
-
Yes, we can absolutely get your garden room or outdoor office connected with strong Wi-Fi. Our team often runs discreet outdoor cabling or sets up special long-range Wi-Fi equipment to reach those back-garden spots. You'll get the same internet speeds in your garden room as you do inside your house. No more dropping Zoom calls in your garden office – we'll make sure the connection is solid. And we do it using your current broadband service, so there’s no need for a second line or broadband provider.
-
Improving your Wi-Fi won't raise the maximum speed your broadband provider supplies, but it will help you get that full speed throughout your home. If you're paying for high-speed internet but only get a fraction of it in certain rooms, better Wi-Fi will fix that. You'll see faster downloads and smoother streaming in rooms that used to be slow or spotty. Keep in mind the top speed is still limited by your broadband package.
-
Thick walls, distance from the router, or interference from other electronics can weaken your Wi-Fi in certain rooms. Many Dublin homes, especially older ones, face this issue with signals struggling to pass through brick or concrete. Sometimes the standard router from your broadband provider just isn't powerful enough to cover the whole house. We can assess your home and install the right gear to sort out those weak spots for good.
-
Not every home needs a mesh Wi-Fi system, but it can be brilliant for larger houses or tricky layouts. A mesh setup uses multiple Wi-Fi points working together to cover your whole home under one network name. If you have lots of dead spots or a big house with thick walls, mesh Wi-Fi could solve the problem. We can advise you if mesh is the right choice for you or if a simpler solution will do the job.
-
A Wi-Fi booster or extender can give a small boost to your signal, but it often doesn’t solve everything. You might still experience dropouts or slow speeds because these gadgets can be temperamental. We’ve seen many Dublin homes where boosters helped a bit, but the Wi-Fi was still patchy. We usually recommend a more permanent fix like a wired access point or a mesh system to fully cover your space.
-
Yes, our solutions work with any broadband provider, including eir and Virgin Media. You don’t need to switch – we simply improve the Wi-Fi signal within your home or business. Our team works with the equipment from your existing provider and enhances it so you get the best performance. No matter who your broadband is with, you’ll get fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your space. Also, if you decide to switch broadband providers at any point, our equipment will still work. It is a straight forward swap.
-
Yes, you can. At Kable Kings, we can help you set up multiple Wi-Fi networks from a single broadband connection such as separating your home and guest networks or creating dedicated bandwidth for work or gaming. This can improve performance, security, and overall network management to suit your specific needs.
-
Costs can vary depending on what’s needed, but we’ll give you a quote upfront. We usually start with a quick chat and/or a consultation to figure out the best solution for you. After that, we'll let you know the exact cost so there are no surprises. Just drop us a line through our [contact page](https://www.kablekings.ie/contact-us) and we’ll be happy to give you an estimate.

We’re here to help make the whole process as smooth as possible.
Wired Networks
-
Yes, a wired network offers significantly faster speeds and a more stable connection than Wi-Fi. It isn’t affected by wireless interference or thick walls, so you get a strong, consistent signal with no dropouts. This means you can enjoy the maximum internet speeds your broadband provider delivers, which is ideal for high-bandwidth activities like streaming, gaming, and video calls.
-
Data cables can be used to create a fast, stable wired network by connecting devices such as computers, TVs, and printers directly to your router. They can also be used to hardwire Wi-Fi access points throughout your property, extending wireless coverage and eliminating dead zones. This setup boosts performance, reduces interference, and ensures a more reliable connection for both wired and wireless devices.
-
Yes, we can install network cables in both new and existing buildings without major disruption. Our team uses neat techniques to run cables both internally and externally through walls, attics, or unobtrusive trunking, so there’s usually no need for big construction work. We have plenty of experience retrofitting homes and offices around Dublin with minimal mess, so your space stays intact and tidy.
-
No, we plan installations carefully to avoid unnecessary damage or mess. Cables are routed discreetly along walls or through existing cavities whenever possible. We take care to leave your space as we found it, just with better connectivity.
-
We typically use high-quality Ethernet cables like Cat6 for our installations. Cat6 cables support gigabit speeds and beyond, ensuring your network is future-proof and can handle very fast broadband. If your setup has special requirements, we’ll choose the appropriate cable type to meet your needs.
-
It depends on the size of your network. For just a few network points in a home, you might not need a full cabinet. Instead, we can install a simple wall-mounted panel or outlets that connect directly to your router. For larger homes or offices with many connections, we often use a small communications cabinet with a patch panel to neatly organise everything. We will recommend the best solution for you after a site survey.
-
Yes, having a wired network doesn’t replace Wi-Fi. It actually complements it. You can still use Wi-Fi for phones and tablets, while plugging in devices like PCs, smart TVs, or game consoles into the wired network for maximum speed. We offer both wired network installations and Wi-Fi solutions so you get the best of both worlds.
-

Cabling Services & Data Cabling
-
Our cabling services cover everything needed to organise and optimise your network wiring. We tidy up existing cables, install new high-quality data cables if needed, and ensure all wiring is neatly routed. This often includes labelling each cable, managing them in a rack or cabinet, and removing any old or unused cables. The goal is to give you a clean, efficient cabling setup that’s easy to understand and maintain.
-
Yes, we do. Fibre cables and broadband modem routers are often installed in inconvenient or unsightly locations, becoming an eyesore in your home. At Kable Kings, we professionally relocate and tidy up these installations to ensure they’re both functional and aesthetically pleasing, improving both the look and layout of your space.
-
Keeping your cables organised makes a huge difference in reliability and ease of maintenance. Neatly managed cables are less likely to get damaged or unplugged by accident. It becomes much easier to identify what cable goes where, which saves time when troubleshooting or adding new devices. Plus, a tidy setup improves airflow around your equipment and just looks far better than a tangle of wires.
-
Yes, absolutely! Tidying up messy cable setups is one of our specialties. We can come to your office and turn that jumble of wires into an organised system. Our team will untangle and re-route cables, get rid of any redundant wires, and label everything clearly. You’ll be left with a clean and professional-looking network that’s easy to manage.
-
Yes, if your network is running on older Cat5 or Cat5e cables, it’s worth considering an upgrade. Newer cable types like Cat6 or Cat6a can handle much higher speeds and bandwidth, meaning a faster and more reliable network for you. During our visit, we can check your current cables and let you know if upgrading them would make a noticeable difference.
-
Both homes and businesses can benefit from proper data cabling. In a home, you might have a home office, a gaming setup, or a smart TV streaming in 4K. These all run better with good cabling. We often help homeowners in Dublin organise their network cables or add new Ethernet points for things like smart home devices. Whether it’s a small home or a large office, a tidy, well-planned cabling system makes your network more efficient and reliable.
-
Yes, we regularly take on cabling projects for new offices, renovations, and builds. Our team can plan and install the entire network infrastructure from scratch, including running cables in walls and ceilings before the finishes go on. We work with builders or directly with you to make sure all data points and network cabinets are in the right places. By getting us involved early, you’ll have a state-of-the-art cabling system ready as soon as your new space is up and running.
-
Kable Kings installs a wide range of communications cabinets, including wall-mounted cabinets from 6U to 21U and floor-standing cabinets from 12U to 42U, with depths from 450mm to 1000mm ideal for everything from small offices to large network setups as they offer secure equipment storage, improved cable management, efficient use of space, enhanced airflow, and scalability for future network expansion.
-

TV Installations
-
Yes, we offer professional TV wall mounting services for homes and businesses. Our team can securely mount your TV on the wall at the ideal height and viewing angle. We handle TVs of all sizes, from small flat-screens to larger TVs, and make sure they are firmly attached. You’ll get a safe and tidy installation without any wobbling or risk of the TV coming loose.
-
If you already have a bracket you’d like us to use, that’s no problem. Otherwise, we can supply a suitable wall-mount bracket for your TV. We’ll choose a high-quality bracket that fits your TV’s size and weight, whether you need a fixed mount or one that tilts and swivels. Either way, we’ll ensure your TV is mounted with the right hardware.
-
Yes, we always do our best to hide or disguise the cables. We can feed cables through the wall behind the TV if possible, or use slim trunking (a narrow cable cover) that matches your wall to keep wires out of sight. All your HDMI, power, and aerial leads will be neatly managed so your TV setup looks clean and professional.
-
Yes, we have the proper fixings for all wall types. Whether your wall is plasterboard (drywall), wood stud, brick, or concrete, we know the right anchors and screws to use. Even on hollow walls, we use special heavy-duty anchors so your TV will be safely secured. Our installers make sure the TV is mounted correctly and won’t cause any damage to your wall.
-
Yes, absolutely. After mounting the TV, we’re happy to help reconnect your devices. We can hook up your Sky or Virgin Media box, gaming consoles, soundbar, or any other equipment you have. We’ll make sure everything is plugged in correctly and working together, so you can start watching right away without any hassle.
-
We can do either. If you’ve already purchased a TV, we’ll install that for you. If not, we can assist you in choosing and supplying the right TV for your needs. We offer a full TV supply-and-install service, so just let us know if you need help getting a new TV and we’ll take care of it.
-
The cost can vary depending on factors like the size of your TV and the type of wall. We offer competitive pricing and will give you a clear quote before starting any work. In general, TV mounting is an affordable one-time service. Considering the improved safety and neat finish it provides, our customers find it great value for money. Feel free to get in touch with us for a quick quote tailored to your needs.
-
Yes, we serve both residential and commercial clients. Our team has mounted TVs in all sorts of places, from living rooms and home cinemas to offices, pubs, and clinic waiting areas.

-
Just contact us and we’ll arrange everything. You can reach out via our contact page or give us a call to schedule an appointment.
