Full Speed Data means we do not throttle at Wireless Nation. The average peak hour speed is 38Mbps download, and 16Mbps upload. Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower, your location, and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) Sept 2024 report.

Plug and Play WiFi

Coastguard has teamed up with Wireless Nation to bring members WiFi you can use at home and in your boat, bach, or vehicle.

It is like having a portable WiFi bubble wherever you go. Everyone’s devices can stay online on your journey and at your destination — phones, watches, tablets, laptops, and eReaders can automatically connect to your onboard WiFi, and stay connected.

Simply unplug it from the power outlet at home and plug it into your boat, bach, or vehicle! Use it year-round or just over the summer.

Testimonial from Coastguard Northern Region CEO, Callum Gillespie: 

“ Wireless Nation’s lifestyle broadband package was quick and easy to set up, just plug it in and away you go. It was great to be connected wherever we were out on the boat, especially in areas with little cellphone coverage. It kept my teenagers happy so I’m happy!”

Year-round Service or Flexible Holds

Most members use this connection at home too, but you have the added flexibility to pause your plan when necessary. We kindly ask for a five-day notice for plan holds, and there’s a minimum activation period of one month each time.

Reactivation is quick and easy and can be completed in 3-5 working days.

Modem

There’s an investment of $299 (already discounted for Coastguard members) for a powerful 4G-enabled portable modem.

Shipping & Handling: $16.95.

12-24V Adapter (optional)

You can purchase a 12-24V adapter for $69.90 during signup, meaning the modem can run off 12-24V and keep the modem safe from voltage spikes.  Please note: the modem includes a 230/240V wall plug for mains power.

We have used WN for a few years now. Love the added bonus of being able to take the modem away in the motorhome. Very easy to put on hold if you're going overseas. Great service if any problem, just ring and talk to a helpful person in NZ! Beats all other providers hands down on that alone.

I had an issue with getting wireless rurally where the signal from the local towers was variable. I needed a hands-on person to test which phone company I should use. Ben one of the staff worked with me to sort this out. Such a relief to have a human help me. I cannot imagine I would have sorted it via a help desk. Such an amazing service.

I've been with Wireless action for many years and have been extremely satisfied with them. At the time of joining, they were the only firm that could give me what I wanted. There have only been a couple of times I've needed assistance, and the people I were in contact with, were very friendly and helpful. A great firm to be involved with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run the modem off 12-24V?

Yes, the modem can run off 12V.  It comes with a 230/240V to 12V wall plug for mains power. If you want to run the modem off your battery/cigarette lighter plug we recommend you buy our 12V Adapter add-on – this will keep the modem safe from voltage spikes.

Does it work anywhere in NZ?

We use over 1,750 towers which cover 99% of the population or, in other words, most places where people live, work and commonly travel. You can check coverage by going to: wirelessnation.co.nz/coverage, and selecting the appropriate tabs.

It also works out at sea and in most holiday spots, towns and cities.

How much power does it use?

Maximum power: 12V-2A; 24Whr

Nominal power: 12V-0.5A; 6Whr

Speeds

Both plans are suitable for dual HD streaming simultaneously and support WiFi sharing with multiple devices for Googling, Emails, Facebook, Spotify, YouTube etc.
