Computer Health Check & Tune-up for homes in Mt Eden & Mt Albert
The area is full of villas, bungalows and 1930s to 1950s homes, many built from or around volcanic stone, brick and solid timber. Home offices are common, and families often have several people streaming and on video calls at once. A cabled access point or two, and moving the router out of a cupboard, usually fixes coverage more reliably than extenders.

Computer Health Check & Tune-up in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: questions
Why is my Wi-Fi poor in an old stone or brick house?
Stone, brick and solid timber absorb wireless signal. The usual fix is to run a cable from the router to an access point in the part of the house that struggles, rather than adding more wireless extenders.
Do you help home-based businesses?
Yes. Many people in Mt Eden, Mt Albert and Sandringham run a business from home. We set up the office network, backups, printing and Microsoft 365 just as we would for a larger office.
Do you cover Mt Roskill and Three Kings?
Yes. We cover Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings and Mt Roskill, for homes and businesses. Let us know whether it is a house, a shop or an office, and where the router or comms cupboard sits.
Do you do computer health check & tune-up in Mt Eden?
Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.
My computer is quite old. Is a tune-up worth it?
Often it is, particularly if the slowness comes from clutter or a failing drive rather than age itself. If the computer can no longer run supported updates or the hardware is failing, we will say so honestly rather than tune a machine that should be retired.
