What could be a more stressful experience than signing up for a service online? We know that many of us go through phases of confusion and frustration, unsure of what to expect and often getting stuck on a single step — ultimately abandoning the process entirely.

In this article, we'll walk you through each step of the online sign-up process, from selecting the right package to double-checking your fees. Follow these steps, and you'll enjoy WIRUlink's fast, reliable and affordable uncapped wireless or fibre internet in no time.
1
Complete a coverage check
Begin by doing a simple coverage check to see whether you have WIRUlink services available in your area.
Tip
Try to drop the pin on the roof of the house or building you are enquiring for. This will give a more accurate coverage result.
2
Choose your service
Great! You just completed the coverage check, now you can decide which WIRUlink service you'd like. Whether you're looking for wireless internet or fibre, we have options tailored for you.
Tip
If you need internet for multiple users or heavy usage, and fibre is available in your area, it's often the best choice. However, if you're in an area without fibre access or have lighter internet needs, wireless internet can be a more practical and cost-effective solution.

4
Choose your term
Choose the contract term that works best for your current financial situation. We offer flexible terms to suit your needs — the three options include Monthly, 12-Month or 24-Month contract terms.
Tip
All three terms give you the same service — the only difference is how long you're committing for. Pick the one that matches your plans rather than the one that looks cheapest at first glance.

5
Pick the correct router
Selecting the right router is crucial for optimal performance. You can decide to use your existing router at no extra cost or choose a new router.
Recommendation from a WIRU Sales Rep
We suggest the Mikrotik hAP ac2 Router, which offers flexibility and allows for future upgrades.

6
Select warranty type for hardware
We highly recommend the Advanced Warranty, which includes lightning and power surge protection, for only R63.13 (including VAT). This small investment ensures protection and peace of mind in case of unforeseen damage.
You can view the WIRUlink Advanced Equipment Warranty T&Cs here.
Tip
Selecting the Advanced Warranty will protect your router and outdoor radio during lightning seasons, which is usually one of the main reasons for equipment replacements.

Tip
Have your ID, bank statement and other supporting documents saved on your device before you reach this step — it keeps the whole thing down to a couple of minutes.

Your costs are shown three times before you place the order, so there's never a surprise waiting at the end of the process.
