The wiring that you install in your customer’s

Implications of locating the service
provider’s router in a cupboard
It is important to note that the Wi-Fi service
your customer receives is dependent upon
the intended location of the communication
provider’s router. Placing the router in a
service cupboard or under stairs cupboard will
significantly reduce the speed and coverage
your customer will receive.
It is highly recommended that if you position
the router in this way that you provide additional
RJ45 ports within the home. Ideally for optimum
speeds to be enjoyed using Wi-Fi service it
is recommended that you locate the router
centrally within the property.
For information, advice and guidance around
positioning, please refer to: PAS: 2016 Next
Generation Access for new Build Homes Guide.
All internal wires and sockets beyond the
ONT are the responsibility of the developer/
future home owner.
If any part of the connectorised internal
fibre cable is found to be damaged at
commissioning, it is the developer’s
responsibility to replace it.
If the homeowner experiences a lack of
service or poor service, which is due to
a fault within the internal installation
of wiring, which requires Openreach to
rectify, the homeowner will be charged.
