What is WombatWireless™ 4G+?
WombatWireless™ 4G+ is a premium wireless broadband service powered by One NZ’s nationwide 4G mobile network. It delivers fast, reliable internet across most locations in the Wellington region and anywhere with 4G coverage. In areas with weaker signal strength, an external antenna may be required to improve reception and ensure optimal performance.
How fast is WombatWireless™ 4G+?
Typical speeds range from 20Mbps to 100Mbps, depending on tower distance and signal quality.
Our Unlimited-Max plan allows speeds of up to 350Mbps for those located in urban areas or close to a tower.
With a properly installed antenna, many customers experience speeds comparable to urban fibre.
What’s the difference between 4G and 4G+?
While both technologies use the same mobile tower infrastructure, 4G+ (also known as LTE Advanced) is a faster, more advanced version of standard 4G. It works by combining multiple frequency bands from the same or nearby towers (a process called carrier aggregation or channel bonding) to increase total bandwidth and boost speeds.
This means:
•Faster downloads and uploads
•Better performance during peak times
•More stable connections, especially for streaming and video calls
WombatWireless™ 4G+ routers are specifically configured to take advantage of these capabilities from the One NZ network.
What’s the difference between self-install and managed install?
The type of installation depends on your 4G signal strength.
•Self-install: If your property has strong reception, your router can be shipped to you. Simply plug it in and connect. A $14.99 freight charge applies. Includes a 30-day connection guarantee.
•Managed install: If signal strength is low, our technician will assess your property and recommend an external antenna to boost performance. A site visit is conducted before any work begins, and a no-obligation quote will be provided.
What does managed installation typically involve?
A managed installation includes:
•A site visit to assess local signal levels
•Installation of an external directional or omni antenna
•Complete professional setup and configuration of your router
Because each property is different, antenna models and mountings may vary. Pricing will be based on your unique situation.
How does wireless broadband actually work?
Wireless broadband delivers internet to your property via radio signals:
•WombatWireless™ X: Connects your home directly to one of WombatNET’s private transmitter sites.
•WombatWireless™ 4G+: Connects using One NZ’s mobile towers, like a phone accessing mobile data.
Both systems eliminate the need for fixed lines and are ideal for rural or semi-urban locations.
Can I use my own router?
For optimal performance, we recommend using the pre-configured WombatNET 4G+ router. However, advanced users may bring their own device if it is compatible with One NZ’s 4G bands and supports external antennas.
Please contact us to check.
An additional one-off $25 charge will be applied to supply an unlocked SIM card.
Is there a contract?
WombatWireless™ 4G+ is offered without a contract if you purchase a router/modem upfront. If renting a router ($15/m), a standard 24-month term applies.
You may switch between plans anytime without penalty. If we are unable to resolve a service-impacting issue within a reasonable timeframe, we will release you from your contract.
How soon can I get connected?
Most new connections are completed within 7 days of first contact, depending on:
•Signal availability at your location
•Weather conditions (for managed installs)
•Equipment or technician availability
We will let you know if any of these factors might affect you.
What is included in the monthly price?
- Unlimited data
- 4G+ speeds
- Parental control (on some systems)
- Technical support
- Ongoing connection monitoring and diagnostics

Wombatnet brings out the best in our family In these later, happily retired years, I value stability, reliability, and an easy, honest transition above all else. I look for people who are straight-up, sharp, tech-savvy, and who genuinely know their stuff. Well… I found all of that right here. From my very first phone call, I braced myself for the usual endless ringing, long holds, frustration. But not this time. Ding, ding before I knew it, “Hello, how can I help?” I asked, “Who am I speaking with?” The answer: Alex I own the company. For real! That alone told me everything I needed to know. I was introduced by my granddaughter, and she and her man are absolutely over the moon with this company. As soon as I heard the name, I had to laugh and I knew I wanted to be part of it. This is a team that understands our needs, supports one another, and truly has your back when the going gets tough. Signing up was easy. Communication is clear. Invoices, due dates, reminders all smooth, all stress-free. I feel supported, respected, and included, not just as a customer but as part of a new era network😄👍 Nan’s happy when the grandies are happy and everyone’s happy here. Hooked up in a flash, keeping pace, and cheering on the next generation! Thank you for the T-shirt too! 👕😊 Highly recommended.+0

10/10 service when our starlink failed and both me and my wife work from home rurally Wombat was at our house within 30mins of a phone call and had both businesses up and running. Couldn’t recommend this company anymore, amazing service :)+0

Thank you so much for your feedback, Regan! Always good to prove that local backup beats waiting on a courier box. That temporary setup looks right at home on the tree - classic Kiwi ingenuity!

The experience we’ve had with WombatNET has been incredible. After repeated failed attempts for support from our prior provider and an ongoing connection reminiscent of 1990s dial up, we reached out to Alex hoping WombatNET’s experience with both tricky connections and semi-rural properties might make the difference. From our first message, Alex took the time to understand what we were experiencing, offered great solutions, and has checked in throughout our onboarding and first few weeks to ensure everything is working seamlessly - and now we’re properly in the 2020s! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this Christy, it really does mean a lot. Tricky situations like yours are exactly the sort of thing we set out to handle, so it's always satisfying when someone finally gets the connection they should have had all along. Glad we could leave the dial up era behind and get you onto something that performs the way it should! We will keep checking in from time to time, and please sing out any time if you ever need a hand. - Alex at WombatNETTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Switched to WombatNET after a LONG time with the big telcos and the difference was noticeable pretty much straight away. Setup was seamless and the support has been (though not really needed) has been GENUINELY helpful, with actual conversations rather than the typical scripted replies. They clearly know the area and the kinds of issues that come with rural parts of Wellington well, which made a big difference. I didn’t have to explain things over and over or convince someone that a problem was real. I didn’t have to BEG for a solution. Response times have been quick, things get followed up properly, and you’re dealing with the same person rather than a call centre and waiting on hold. It’s been far, far less stressful than what I’m used to. I also saved a fair bit compared to my old 4g provider. It’s also good knowing my money is staying local and supporting a business that’s clearly invested in doing things properly, and seems to treat it’s customers less like a number and kind of more like a neighbour. Thanks guys!

Just got Mr Wombat to install my internet. As well as that he reset my tv and security cameras. Can’t see any other provider going that far to keep the customer happy
