Full Speed Data means we do not throttle at Wireless Nation. The average peak hour speed is 31 or 38Mbps download, and 14 or 23Mbps upload, depending on where you are. Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) June 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.

The modem featured may vary from the actual modem supplied.

We use wireless nation in our motorhome. The coverage is good as advised as they use the One network of towers. The app is excellent and shows up to date data usage by day and total so easy to see how we are going against our 300gb per month. Staff have always shown great customer service and billing and payment is easy with a direct deduction. While not used yet, I like the idea of being able to put our plan on hold when not required and start up again with a phone call.

I have had a Wireless Nation modem installed in my Campervan for many years. It has been a great system for me and never fails. I have been all over both the South and North Island and even in remote places I just assume (and have never been disappointed) that I will get reception. In the early days I was not only driving around in my Campervan but providing a consulting service to many clients. I have chaired a two hour meeting using Zoom, of one of Auckland clients while sitting in my Van in Roxburgh Central Otago, Never entered my head that I wouldn't be able to do this. Bandwidth was never a problem.

We have WN as our preferred ISP for some years now. Always found them to be reliable and supportive for continuity of connection. Nothing is ever a problem as they always have a solution based outcome to remedy any challenges. Best price, good service and great team.

Having recently returned from an extended tour of the far north, I was impressed by the performance of this system. It was seemless whereas other providers struggled. So having used wirelessnation both in my home and away, I highly recommend wirelessnation.

This company has provided reliable service. It focuses on customer service that speaks the language of the (inexperienced) customer, NOT the trained internet technician. Unrestricted innivative development over many fields of service is made possible by the more personal, family orientated nature of its founding.

Wireless Nation has been providing our internet/wifi coverage for some years as we have traveled in our caravan throughout New Zealand. They also provide that coverage at home for our security and solar systems while we are away. The service has been excellent and we have found them to be responsive and friendly as we tackle the challenges of the digital age.

I recently took over a business that was already using Wireless Nation, and they have been fantastic. The internet service is reliable, and the phone service is excellent. I ordered a new IP phone, and it arrived preprogrammed—ready to plug in and use. Their phone support is consistently helpful, and the customer service portal is incredibly convenient. It contains all my network documents and site information, and I can easily track any enquiries through their ticketing system. The staff are always friendly, and getting IT support feels like chatting with a tech-savvy friend who always has the answers. I highly recommend Wireless Nation.

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.

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.

Disclaimers
  • Factors such as the performance of your modem, the distance you are from a cell tower, the network capability, the overall use of that cell tower by other customers, the performance and age of the devices you are using, and your in-home WiFi setup, can impact the speeds experienced.
  • Lifestyle Broadband is a best efforts residential service, not to be used for business purposes. 
  • It can take up to 3 hours for your data to renew from midnight on the 1st of every month — this is due to the large number of connections that need to get processed through the system.

  • Standard Wireless Nation terms and conditions apply.
