Delivering the WiFi
The internet connection has reached the church, whether by fixed line, 4G/5G or another method. Now we need to get reliable WiFi everywhere it needs to be.
Access point placement and connections are vital in delivering good, strong WiFi signals around a church. Poorly designed or installed WiFi can become unreliable or unusable, particularly where it is supporting audio/video systems, smart heating and lighting, contactless giving terminals and other church technology.
Our fully managed WiFi systems are designed by our in-house engineers to address coverage issues before installation, ensuring that everything works as it should.
Our ongoing support gives you peace-of-mind that, if any issues do occur, you have an experienced engineer to rely on for advice, guidance and to make any changes you might need.


Caroline, Churchwarden, Bristol
When you have a broadband connection delivered, it's usually supplied with a standard domestic WiFi router. These are designed primarily for use in residential dwellings and as a result don't come with the capacity, coverage or features you might need in a church.
Most churches will require their broadband to be installed into the vestry, church office or some other "out of the way" location. This usually means tucked away in a corner of the church, separated from the main body where you're likely to need it for live streaming, hall hirers and other functions. A single router in this position is unlikely to provide a strong and stable signal through thick stone walls, so the signal can quickly degrade to the point where it's not usable outside the immediate area.

A standard BT Home Hub
Instead of relying on a single broadband router, we install properly positioned WiFi access points around the church, connected back to a centrally managed network. This allows us to provide reliable coverage where it is actually needed while working around thick stone walls, awkward layouts and the restrictions that come with historic church buildings.
TP-Link Omada has published a case study featuring Litenet as the implementation partner providing WiFi connectivity and technical support to more than 40 churches across England.
The case study looks at how church WiFi is being used for live streaming, meetings, community events and contactless giving, while installing equipment sympathetically in historic church buildings. We're really proud that our work with churches has been documented by one of the manufacturers whose equipment we use.
It's a great achievement and we truly believe that our expertise and experience sets us apart from standard IT companies and AV suppliers.
Your church WiFi can be monitored and managed remotely, allowing our engineers to diagnose problems, update equipment and make changes without needing a site visit.
Separate guest, staff and equipment networks help protect church systems while still providing visitors, hall users and congregation members with convenient internet access.
Enterprise-grade WiFi is designed to support many connected devices at the same time, including live-streaming equipment, contactless giving terminals, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
Our church WiFi systems include ongoing support from experienced engineers. We can remotely troubleshoot problems, change passwords, adjust networks and help keep your system running reliably.

In a small church, usually just one or two, depending on where you need signal. We will look at a floorplan and images of your church to determine what we think is necessary. It's usually things like thick stone walls that stop the signal from getting around the building. Some churches have a church office that needs connectivity, as well as live streaming equipment and contactless donation terminals in the Nave. Some churches are so large that they need several access points to cover meeting rooms, Vestry, Nave and even the church hall.
Usually, yes. Where the buildings can be linked, we can manage the church and church hall as one WiFi system, using the same WiFi network names and passwords in both. The best way to link the buildings will depend on their distance apart and the layout of the site.
Of course! We can set up individual users with different permissions. If you have a volunteer who is capable and interested, we are more than happy to give them access. If you don't, that's fine too. We'll take care of everything. If you ever need changes, such as passwords changed, just drop our support team a call or email and we'll do it remotely. All included in the broadband costs.
Not reliably in many churches. Thick stone walls can significantly weaken WiFi signals, which is why simply putting a domestic broadband router in the vestry often doesn't provide good coverage throughout the building. We design church WiFi systems using suitably positioned access points so that coverage reaches the areas where it is actually needed.
