Full Home Wi-Fi is a new solution to support customers extend their internet wi-fi coverage across their home, be it villa or apartments. This is superior to the current Home zone service which limits the Wi-Fi extension to a maximum of 3 zones. Full home wi-fi achieves this superiority by using the latest mesh technology to design the network and connect high quality wi-fi access points within customer’s premise. Our field engineers will perform a wi-fi survey using their tool and design the network architecture which delivers optimum results. Customer pays a monthly fee for the service, and we will take care of the rest such as cabling (if needed), and all cost of devices, labor and installation.
The Wi-Fi coverage will be available in the room of the router, and part of the next one. However, this will depend on many factors such as size of the rooms, distance from the main router, the walls construction materials. At times this leads to the requirement of additional access points will be needed in medium and large homes.
The solution is available for all Etisalat Home customer accounts who have an active internet line.
Definitely. You can choose to upgrade your Wi-Fi extension service from Home zone to Full Home Wi-Fi by placing an upgrade request in our retail stores or calling up the customer care or with the help of the Mobile App. There will be no exit charges for home zone service, even if you fall within the contract period.
We will be providing the routers, cables, sockets, and all accessories, as well as the installation and configuration of all items end to end. The Wi-Fi survey and design of the network plan are also part of the service at no extra cost.
The Full Home Wi-Fi service will be charged at AED 99 per month (Incl 5% VAT). In case if the customer needs to do a stand-alone wi-fi survey, it costs AED 150 per visit. However, the visit charges will be waived off if the customer proceeds with the subscription.
This service if offered with 2 years contract. AED 1000 is charged as the exit fee if the customer cease the service within first 2 years of subscription.
Internet and Wi-Fi speeds are always usually delivered as per the best effort basis. The speed that is expected across the home will be closer to the speeds of the primary connection.
There cannot be a direct answer for that since there are numerous variables that affect the coverage including the design, architecture of the home, size of rooms etc. Since the service can support up to a maximum of five devices, it should easily be able to cover large apartments and villas which has up to 6 – 8 bedrooms depending upon the size.
It should be noted that the customer devices cannot be used as part of the service. Etisalat will use only Etisalat devices for this service. In addition, the devices that we provide will also enjoy up to 2 years warranty.
We would advice you to use Etisalat specified routers as primary routers to enjoy the full benefits of the full home wi-fi service and its technology. Using customer’s own router as the primary elife router compromises the quality of service from faster remote trouble shooting to the quality of network architecture. However, if the customer still requires to use his own primary router, the request should be shared with our field engineer who would install the remaining Full Home Wi-Fi keeping the customer’s primary router as it is, if feasible.
The ownership of all devices and accessories is with the customer. So the customer can choose to do whatever he would want with the routers, cables etc once service is cancelled.
Full Home Wi-Fi services can be moved free of cost from his current home to his new location.
In order to enable seamless movement within different rooms, we have ensured that the user name and password for the service will be same as that of the primary connection.
Absolutely. Coverage and speed of the internet Wi-Fi in your entire home is dependent on the primary connection.
