Service Area
Service is checked address by address.
The map is a general guide. Service depends on a clear signal path between your home and one of our towers. Trees, hills, distance, and how much room is left on that tower all matter. The fastest way to know is to send us the address.
Many rural homes never got the wired options homes in town take for granted. Four Lakes Broadband is built for everyday home internet without the lag of satellite or the data limits of a cellular hotspot.
We are local, our network is local, and every address is reviewed by people who know rural Dane County: the hills, the distances, and the trees that grow a little taller every year.

How it works
From address check to installation.
Fixed wireless works like this: a small outdoor radio (the antenna mounted at your home) makes a direct wireless link to a nearby Four Lakes Broadband tower. Inside, it plugs into your Wi-Fi router with a regular network cable (Ethernet).
2. Outdoor radio install
If service is available, we install the outdoor radio and aim it at the tower with the best signal to your home.
3. Plug in your router
We bring the connection inside and plug it into a regular Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi through the house, same as in town.
Installation
What to expect during the install.
Most installs are straightforward. Every home is different, but a typical visit includes mounting the outdoor radio, running cable to the router area, and verifying the connection before we leave. Installation is quoted up front with your service recommendation and is generally all-inclusive. No surprise line items afterward.
- Access to the outside mounting location.
- Access to the basement, utility area, or router location.
- Outdoor radio mounted and aimed for the best available signal.
- Cable run to wherever your router lives.
- We test everything before we leave.
Before we recommend service
We look at the address first, and we only recommend service where we know it will work well.
- A clear signal path to a nearby tower.
- Trees, terrain, and elevation.
- Household usage and router location.
Service Recommendations
The right recommendation depends on your address.
Every address gets its own review. No two rural homes are the same. Distance, trees, and hills all change what we can deliver.
Send us your address and a little about how your household uses the internet. We’ll confirm what is available before quoting a specific option.
For most households, the goal is a connection that works for everyday use: streaming, working from home, schoolwork, video calls, smart TVs, cameras, and keeping the usual mix of devices online.
What we look at
- A clear signal path at your address.
- Which tower can serve your home best.
- How many people and devices are typically online.
- Streaming, work-from-home, school, gaming, and smart-home needs.
Address-based recommendation
We check each address first and recommend what makes sense for that home instead of forcing every location into the same public package.

FAQ
Common questions.
How do I know if service is available?
Send us your service address. We review each location because trees, hills, distance, and space on the nearby tower all matter.
Is this satellite or a hotspot?
No. Four Lakes Broadband is fixed wireless home internet: a direct wireless link to a nearby tower, not a satellite dish and not a cell hotspot. We install a small outdoor radio (the antenna) at your home and connect it to your Wi-Fi router with a regular network cable.
Are there data caps?
No. There are no monthly usage caps, hotspot-style data limits, or overage charges on home internet service.
Do I need a special router?
No. Any regular Wi-Fi router works. Our service plugs into it with a standard network cable (Ethernet), the same way cable or fiber internet would.
What is the outdoor radio?
The outdoor radio is a small antenna installed outside your home. It links to a nearby Four Lakes Broadband tower and feeds your router over a regular network cable.
